“Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain. of a: Heb. in a gift of falsehood”
Proverbs 25:14 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 25:14
Whoever boasts of gifts never given is like clouds and wind without rain. The Hebrew 'hithalel' (boast/praise oneself) and 'matan sheqer' (false gift/lying donation) describe empty promises. The imagery: clouds and wind promise rain but deliver nothing. Drought-stricken farmers' disappointment when promising clouds pass without rain illustrates promise-breakers' effect. Those who commit but don't deliver frustrate and disappoint. Keep commitments or don't make them.
