He goes haggard with shame, even if his fortune is based on something as honest and useful as Scotch Tape, aspirin, rugged pants for the working man, or, as in your case, brooms.
Он бледнеет от стыда, даже если его богатство добыто самым честным и невинным путем — например, выработкой и продажей прочной прозодежды для рабочих или, как в вашей семье, выделкой щеток.

Hi, I’ve learned that when someone keeps his promises I can say “he is as good as his word”.
My question is: what can I say if his «promise» is actually a threat and I want to know if the guy keeps his threats. Can I say: “is he as bad as his word?” “is he as evil as his word” Or something like that…
Is there another an idiom for that?
Also, I’m not sure if I chose the right verb: is it “to keep threat”? Or implement?
Thank you!

No, if his promise is a threat and he fulfils the threat, he has kept his word — his word is good, in the sense of being something you can rely on.
-
#3
So… no matter what was someone’s word, if he kept his promise or fulfilled his threat — he is as good as his word.
OK, Thanks panjandrum
-
#4
and by the way, one
carries out
a threat.
-
#5
Lexiphile, carry out or fulfil a threat? or both?
One more thing, can I say for both cases: «he has a word» or something similar to this?

and by the way, one
carries out
a threat.
Indeed one does. For some reason I couldn’t get that to come to mind.
He’s as good as his word, he always cuts of the fingers of those he has threatened if they do not keep up the payments.
-
#7
No to both:
I’ve never heard of anyone fulfilling a threat. Even fulfilling a promise doesn’t mean that literally: when someone has potential, you can say he has promise. Then he can fulfil that promise.
And «he has a word» can’t really be used in this sense. If you have a word with someone, that means to talk to him. As in «I had a word with the boss this morning. He said I should start looking at the want-ads.»

Lexiphile, thanks for the funny example
I got it!
«An Honest Man’s Word Is As Good As His Bond»
Miguel de Cervantes, Spanish novelist, playwright, and poet, the creator of Don Quixote, the most famous figure in Spanish literature, is quoted as saying, “An honest man’s word is as good as his bond” (source). When one gives his word, it should mean that he will do what he has agreed to do, regardless, even if it means personal convenience or inconvenience; at personal gain or loss. There was a time when large sums of money or property changed hands based on a handshake (yes, this writer remembers that time). And, if a man was known not to stand by his word, folks would not deal with him because he was not trustworthy enough to stand behind what he said.
In today’s world, many people have little or no regard for doing what they say they will do. When they agree to something, they are thinking in their minds, “will this be advantageous to me?” And, if that becomes a loss to the person they are dealing with, then that person must understand and accept that.
Let us ask ourselves, “What is wrong with this picture?” What is wrong with this picture is exactly what Jesus addresses in Matthew 5:33-37, “Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of oldtime, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths …. but let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.”
Jesus is taking issue with the prevailing, hypocritical practice of false swearing. It has nothing to do with regulating civil court procedures (Compare Matthew 23:16-22, where He illustrates this point). The Jews would commonly take an oath to substantiate the truthfulness of their statements, but differentiate between what was binding for telling the truth or not, based on that by which they swore.
The problem, as Jesus addressed it, really had to do with truthfulness in character – a man’s word should be sufficient, because he is an honest man. A dishonest man’s word, even when uttered on a stack of Bibles, is not to be trusted. If a man of Christian character forgets to do what he has given his word to do, remind him and he will perform it, even at considerable cost and inconvenience. But a man who does not stand behind his word is deficient in Christian character.
Beloved, let’s all strive to be men and women of Christian character, standing by our word when we give it.
—Mike Riley, Gospel Snippets
