Proverbs 25:13-15
New American Standard Bible 1995
13 Like the cold of snow in the [a]time of harvest
Is a (A)faithful messenger to those who send him,
For he refreshes the soul of his masters.
14 Like (B)clouds and (C)wind without rain
Is a man who boasts [b]of his gifts falsely.
15 By [c](D)forbearance a ruler may be persuaded,
And a soft tongue breaks the bone.
