Proverbs 25:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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

¹⁴ As clouds, and wind, when no rain followeth, so is the man that boasteth, and doth not fulfill his promises.

¹⁵ By patience a prince shall be appeased, and a soft tongue shall break hardness.
