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.
