Proverbs 25:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 25:11
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. The Hebrew 'davar' (word/matter) and 'al ophnayv' (on its wheels/aptly) describe perfectly timed, appropriately crafted speech. Beautiful imagery: golden apples in silver settings - aesthetically perfect, valuable, artfully arranged. Right words at right time are similarly beautiful and valuable. This verse celebrates skillful communication - content, timing, and delivery all appropriate.
