SCRIPTURE

"He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, It shall be counted a curse to him." — Proverbs 27:14 (ASV)

The picture of the ostentatious flatterer going at daybreak to pour out blessings on his patron. For any good that he does, for any thanks he gets, he might as well utter curses.
