Proverbs 18:13

New King James Version

¹³He who answers a matter before he hears it,
It is folly and shame to him.

Proverbs 18:13

New International Version

¹³To answer before listening—
that is folly and shame.^(A)

²A fool has no delight in understanding,
But in expressing his ^(A)own heart.

²Fools find no pleasure in understanding
but delight in airing their own opinions.^(A)

¹⁶The lazy man is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven men who can answer sensibly.

¹⁶A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
than seven people who answer discreetly.
