Proverbs 18:12-14
Amplified Bible
12
Before disaster the heart of a man is haughty and filled with self-importance,
But humility comes before honor.
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?
Proverbs 18:12-14
New International Version
12 Before a downfall the heart is haughty,
but humility comes before honor.(A)
13 To answer before listening—
that is folly and shame.(B)
14 The human spirit can endure in sickness,
but a crushed spirit who can bear?(C)
