Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is the rebuke of a wise judge to a listening ear—a commendation of rebuke from a wise person when received by a receptive hearer, establishing that correction given and received well is beautiful. The metaphor of precious ornaments describes its value. The theological significance involves the principle that rebuke from the wise, when received, produces beauty and growth.
