Proverbs 18:11-13
World English Bible
11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
like an unscalable wall in his own imagination.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is proud,
but before honor is humility.
13 He who answers before he hears,
that is folly and shame to him.
Proverbs 18:11-13
English Standard Version
11 (A)A rich man's wealth is his strong city,
and like a high wall in his imagination.
12 (B)Before destruction a man's heart is haughty,
but (C)humility comes before honor.
13 If one gives an answer (D)before he hears,
it is his folly and shame.
Proverbs 18:11-13
New King James Version
11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own esteem.
12 (A)Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty,
And before honor is humility.
13 He who answers a matter before he hears it,
It is folly and shame to him.
