Proverbs 25:14

Solomon lived in a dry country. His people needed rain for their crops. So the people were sad when the clouds did not bring rain.

This man behaved like these clouds. He did not do the things that he promised. His promises seemed genuine. But he never gave the gifts that he promised. He should not have promised these things.

Jesus said, ‘ “Yes” means “yes”. And “no” means “no”. Any other ideas are from the devil.’ (Matthew 5:37. See also James 5:12.)
