Proverbs 25:12
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise man’s rebuke to a listening ear.
The wise man here is the Lord Jesus Christ. His words are good even when it is a rebuke. His words are purer than gold because they are tested words. He took the form of a man and lived and moved amongst us. He was tested by wicked men and their evil ways. He remained true to the heavenly Father. Only He is worthy of rebuking us. He is a wise man. His rebuke is like an ornament of fine gold. We must always have a listening ear to His rebuke that will save us.
