‏ Proverbs 25:11

word Prov 15:23, Prov 24:26; Eccl 12:10; Isa 50:4

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.
