Proverbs 25:14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift Is like clouds and wind without rain.
Be careful not to pretend to be what you are not. If you brag or boast about being able to do something you are unable to do, then you become a proverb. You can’t deliver. You are like clouds and wind that promise rain but do not carry it out.
We want to impress sometimes, and we say things that make us appear better than we are. Later, people find out the truth and do not respect us for the lie. Be careful to deliver what you promise.
Let the lips of another praise you and not your own. Do what you say. Be careful not to be the empty braggart.
