Proverbs 25:13-15

New King James Version

^13 (A)Like the cold of snow in time of harvest
Is a faithful messenger to those who send him,
For he refreshes the soul of his masters.

^14 (B)Whoever falsely boasts of giving
Is like ^(C)clouds and wind without rain.

^15 (D)By long forbearance a ruler is persuaded,
And a gentle tongue breaks a bone.
