NETBible

Like cloudy skies and wind that produce no rain, 1  so is the one who boasts 2  of a gift not given. 3 

NET Notes

sn 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.

tn 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.

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