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