Proverbs 18:11-15

Tree of Life Version

¹² Before ruin a person’s heart is proud,
but humility comes before honor.

¹³ One who answers before listening—
that is his folly and his shame.

¹⁴ One’s spirit sustains him through illness,
but who can bear a crushed spirit?

¹⁵ A discerning heart gains knowledge,
the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
