Proverbs 25:25

As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
– Proverbs 25:25

The image uses water in a good form. Cold water is refreshing and invigorating to a thirsty soul. Being from a far country meant rare, hard to come by. So good news here is an apt and timely word (Proverbs 15:23, 30).
