Like clouds and wind without rain is the man who boasts of gifts never given.
In context
12 Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise man’s rebuke to a listening ear.
13 Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the soul of his masters.
14 Like clouds and wind without rain is the man who boasts of gifts never given.
15 Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
16 If you find honey, eat just what you need, lest you have too much and vomit it up.
