Proverbs 25:13-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible

13 To those who send him, a trustworthy messenger
is like the coolness of snow on a harvest day;
he refreshes the life of his masters.(A)

14 The man who boasts about a gift that does not exist
is like clouds and wind without rain.(B)
15 A ruler can be persuaded through patience,
and a gentle tongue can break a bone.(C)
