Proverbs 18:12-14
Good News Translation
12 No one is respected unless he is humble; arrogant people are on the way to ruin.
13 (A)Listen before you answer. If you don't, you are being stupid and insulting.
14 Your will to live can sustain you when you are sick, but if you lose it, your last hope is gone.

Proverbs 18:12-14
New International Version
12 Before a downfall the heart is haughty,
but humility comes before honor.(A)
13 To answer before listening—
that is folly and shame.(B)
14 The human spirit can endure in sickness,
but a crushed spirit who can bear?(C)
