¹³ To his master who sent him, a messenger who can be trusted is as refreshing as a drink of cold water on a hot summer day.^[a]

¹⁴ People who promise to give gifts but never give them are like clouds and wind that bring no rain.

¹⁵ With patience, you can make anyone change their thinking, even a ruler. Gentle speech is very powerful.
