As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, So is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

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.

Ως ενωτιον χρυσουν και στολιδιον καθαρου χρυσιου, ειναι ο σοφος ο ελεγχων ωτιον υπηκοον.

As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
