Proverbs 25:13-15

Authorized (King James) Version

¹³ As the cold of snow in the time of harvest,
so is a faithful messenger to them that send him:
for he refresheth the soul of his masters.

¹⁴ Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift
is like clouds and wind without rain.

¹⁵ By long forbearing is a prince persuaded,
and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
