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

² It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge,
    nor being hasty with one’s feet and missing the way.

⁵ The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit;
    and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.

⁷ for it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
    than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince,
    whom your eyes have seen.
⁸ Don’t be hasty in bringing charges to court.
    What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you?

²⁰ A faithful man is rich with blessings;
    but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
