Proverbs 18:12

How To Avoid Fools And Foolishness

¹¹ The substance of a rich man, is his strong city, and like a high wall, in his imagination. ¹² Before grievous injury, a man's heart is haughty, and, before honour, is humility. ¹³ He that answereth before he heareth, a folly, it is to him, and, a reproach.
