PROVERBS 25:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.”
Like clouds and wind without rain is one who boasts of gifts he does not give—a condemnation of empty boasting, establishing that promises unfulfilled are worse than silence because they raise false hope. The metaphor of rain-less clouds describes the futility of such promises. The theological significance involves the principle that words without corresponding actions corrupt trust.
