Proverbs 18:14


Proverbs 18:13 Proverbs 18:14 (KJV) Proverbs 18:15
He that answereth a matter before he heareth [it], it [is] folly and shame unto him.
The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
