Proverbs 25:13-15

New Catholic Bible

¹³ Like the coolness of snow at the time of harvest
    is a faithful messenger to those who dispatch him;
    he revives the spirit of his masters.
¹⁴ Like clouds and wind that bring no rain^[a]
    is the one who boasts of gifts that are never given.
¹⁵ A ruler may be won over by patience,
    and a gentle tongue can break bones.
