Mishle 25:13-15

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹³ As the cold of sheleg (snow) in the yom katzir (day of harvest), so is a tzir ne’eman (faithful envoy) to them that send him; for he refresheth the nefesh of his adonim.

¹⁴ He who boasteth falsely of giving is like clouds and ruach (wind) without geshem (rain).

¹⁵ By forbearance is a katzin (ruler) persuaded, and a gentle lashon breaketh the bone.
