Proverbs 25:14 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The disappointment caused by him who promises much and performs little or nothing, is likened to the phenomena of an eastern climate; the drought of summer, the eager expectation of men who watch the rising clouds and the freshening breeze, the bitter disappointment when the breeze dies off, and the clouds pass away, and the wished for rain does not come.

Proverbs 25:14

14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
