As clouds and wind without rain, so is he who boasts of gifts deceptively.

空夸赠送礼物的，好像无雨的风云。

人空夸礼物而不肯赠送，就好像有风有云却无雨。

人空夸礼物而不肯赠送，就好像有风有云却无雨。

夸口送礼物却食言的人，就像没有雨水的风和云。

空夸送礼却没有实行的人，就像无雨的风云。

为没送的礼物夸耀，就如有云有风却无雨。

空誇贈送禮物的，好像無雨的風雲。

人空誇禮物而不肯贈送，就好像有風有雲卻無雨。

人空誇禮物而不肯贈送，就好像有風有雲卻無雨。

誇口送禮物卻食言的人，就像沒有雨水的風和雲。

空誇送禮卻沒有實行的人，就像無雨的風雲。

自誇送禮而不實在送禮的人、是只有雲霧跟風、而沒有雨。

為沒送的禮物誇耀，就如有雲有風卻無雨。

妄詡饋遺、如有風雲而無雨、

言欲予人而不予、猶風起雲布、而雨不下。

妄自誇詡、言予人而不予、如有風有雲而雨不降、

As clouds and wind without rain, So is he that boasteth himself of his gifts falsely.

Many men claim to be men of unfailing love, but who can find a faithful man?

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, and said,“ Yahweh says,‘ With these you will push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’”

These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts— and their mouth speaks proud things— showing respect of persons to gain advantage.

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed forever more, knows that I don’t lie.

For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ’s apostles.And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.That which I speak, I don’t speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.

These are hidden rocky reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you, shepherds who without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.

“ Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this:‘ God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men, extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying,‘ God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

forsaking the right way, they went astray, having followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing;but he was rebuked for his own disobedience. A mute donkey spoke with a man’s voice and stopped the madness of the prophet.These are wells without water, clouds driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever.For, uttering great swelling words of emptiness, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by licentiousness, those who are indeed escaping from those who live in error;promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.
