Proverbs 18:13-15
Amplified Bible

13 
He who answers before he hears [the facts]—
It is folly and shame to him.(A)
14 
The spirit of a man sustains him in sickness,
But as for a broken spirit, who can bear it?
15 
The mind of the prudent [always] acquires knowledge,
And the ear of the wise [always] seeks knowledge.
