A Wise Reprove compared To An Earring Of Gold

"As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold,
so is a wise reprover upon an obedient
ear." (Proverbs 25:12).

As earring and ornament of gold make a woman
beautiful so does a wise reprover make an obedient
person beautiful in character. Solomon in his backslidden state got so much fascinated with
beauty. Here he acknowledge that jewelries make a
woman beautiful. But the same solomon in the spirit
of righteousness said beauty is vain; it is righteous
and holy woman that should be cherished.
"Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be
praised." (Proverbs 31:30). Only the godly can despise bodily beauty, which
jewelry promotes and appreaciate godliness in a
woman's life. What the Holy Spirit wants to
communicate in our text above is not the use of
jewelries that achieves vanity, but the value of a wise
reproval in a man's life. That the use of jewelries was employed here to show the place a wise reprover
has in the life of an obedient ear, does not mean it is
justified. -------Holiness required----- Paul Rika
