This expression is used to describe something that is completely obvious or redundant.

Strong men are not frightened by empty threats by the unworthy. We should develop necessary courage and should not be scared by the trivial.

This proverb is used to describe a situation where an experienced or brave person is unfazed by empty threats or shallow warnings.

This proverb describes a situation where someone attempts to intimidate a powerful or stubborn opponent using weak, ineffective, or indirect methods.
