Proverbs 18:13-15
New Catholic Bible
13 One who answers before listening
exposes his folly and incurs shame.
14 A man’s spirit can manage to endure sickness,
but when the spirit is crushed, who can bear it?
15 A discerning mind gains knowledge,
and the ears of the wise eagerly seek knowledge.
Proverbs 18:13-15
New International Version
13 To answer before listening—
that is folly and shame.(A)
14 The human spirit can endure in sickness,
but a crushed spirit who can bear?(B)
15 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge,(C)
for the ears of the wise seek it out.
