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

Authorized (King James) Version

¹³He that answereth a matter before he heareth it,
it is folly and shame unto him.

¹⁷The first one to plead his cause seems right,
Until his neighbor comes and examines him.

¹⁷He that is first in his own cause seemeth just;
but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.
