clouds and=spirit and,rain without (a)_man boasts in/on/at/with,gift never

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
נְשִׂיאִ֣ים וְ֭רוּחַ וְגֶ֣שֶׁם אָ֑יִן
clouds and=spirit and,rain without
In this verse, Solomon speaks of the man who boasts in a gift of falsehood being disappointing as if he were Clouds and wind but without rain. Clouds and wind usually indicate that there will also be rain, so Clouds and wind without rain would disappoint farmers who need rain for their crops. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. Alternate translation: “Very disappointing” or “Like clouds and wind but without rain”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
אִ֥ישׁ
(a)_man
The word man represents people in general, not one particular man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “is any person”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
בְּמַתַּת־שָֽׁקֶר
in/on/at/with,gift never
Here, Solomon is using the possessive form to describe a gift that is characterized by falsehood. This refers to a gift the someone promises to give but does not give. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “in a false gift” or “in a gift he falsely promises to give”
