¹³He who answers before he hears,
that is folly and shame to him.

Proverbs 18:13

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹³The one who gives an answer before he listens—
this is foolishness and disgrace for him.^(A)

until another comes and questions him.

until another comes and cross-examines him.^(A)
