As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

Bright. Hebrew chali cat hem, "an ornament of fine gold "(Montanus; Protestants; Haydock) may probably denote a collar or ring. The eastern nations wore rings fixed at the top of the ears, and under the nose. Some were so large that they put their meat through them. The Scripture often alludes to these customs, which are so different from ours. (Canticle of Canticles vii. 1.)
