Proverbs 18:12

How To Avoid Fools And Foolishness

¹¹ The rich man's wealth is his strong city and as a high wall in his imagination. ¹² Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,
But humility goes before honor.
¹³ For him that answers a word before he hears, it is folly and reproach unto him.
