NETBible

Like cloudy skies and wind that produce no rain,¹ so is the one who boasts² of a gift not given.³

NET Notes

¹sn The emblem now is one of clouds and winds that would be expected to produce rain; they gain attention and raise people’s expectations but prove to be disappointing when no rain is forthcoming, and hence could be thought of as deceitful.

²tn The form מִתְהַלֵּל (mithallel) is the Hitpael participle of the well-known word for “praise”; but in this stem it means “to praise oneself” or “to boast.” The description of “windbag” seems appropriate in this context.

³tn Heb “a gift of falsehood.” This would mean that the individual brags about giving a gift, when there is no gift.
