Proverbs 18:13-15

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹³ He who answers a matter before he hears the facts—it is folly and shame to him.^(A)

¹⁴ The strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain or trouble, but a weak and broken spirit who can raise up or bear?

¹⁵ The mind of the prudent is ever getting knowledge, and the ear of the wise is ever seeking (inquiring for and craving) knowledge.
