12 [As] an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, [So is] a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
12 Like a nose-ring of gold and an ornament of the best gold, is a wise man who says sharp words to an ear ready to give attention.
12 A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold, 'Is' the wise reprover to an attentive ear.
