Proverbs 18:13-15

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹³ He who ^(A)gives an answer before he hears,
It is folly and shame to him.
¹⁴ The ^(B)spirit of a man can endure his sickness,
But as for a ^(C)broken spirit who can bear it?
¹⁵ The ^[a](D)mind of the prudent acquires knowledge,
And the ^(E)ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
