The Message
Proverbs 18:12-14
The Message
12 Pride first, then the crash,
but humility is precursor to honor.
13 Answering before listening
is both stupid and rude.
14 A healthy spirit conquers adversity,
but what can you do when the spirit is crushed?
Proverbs 18:12-14
New International Version
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)
