What does fitly mean
Proverbs 25:11 A word fitly spoken [is like] apples of gold in pictures of silver.. These words fitly spoken mean that these words come from a pure heart. Apples are fruit much desired and gold has to do symbolically with the purity of God.We see, here, the fruit of these lips come from a heart filled with the pureness of God. These pictures of silver are beautiful in symbolism, as well.his is just another way to say don't think too much of yourself as self seeking and pride will bring a person down. Proverbs 25:8 Go not forth hastily to strive, lest [thou know not] what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.. Quick anger causes embarrassment.
