Proverbs 25:11
word <01697> [word.]
spoken <0212 01696> [fitly spoken. Heb. spoken upon his wheels. is like.]
Rather "is like golden apples ({tappuchim,} in Arabic, {tuffach,}) in baskets ({maskeeyoth,} in Arabic, {shakeekat,}) of silver." A word spoken with propriety, opportunely, and suitably to the occasion, is as much in its place, and as conspicuously beautiful, as the golden fruit which appears through the apertures of an exquisitely wrought silver basket.
Proverbs 26:23
That is, ardent professions of friendship from a wicked heart, however smooth, shining, and splendid they may appear, are like a vile vessel covered over with base metal.
