Proverbs 18:13
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
He who answers a matter before he hears it— this is folly and disgrace to him.
In context
11 A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city; it is like a high wall in his imagination.
12 Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.
13 He who answers a matter before he hears it— this is folly and disgrace to him.
14 The spirit of a man can endure his sickness, but who can survive a broken spirit?
15 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks it out.
