Proverbs 25:13-15
American Standard Version
Proverbs 25:13-15
American Standard Version
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest,
So is a faithful messenger to them that send him;
For he refresheth the soul of his masters.
14 As clouds and wind without rain,
So is he that boasteth himself [a]of his gifts falsely.
15 By long forbearing is a [b]ruler persuaded,
And a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
