Proverbs 18:12-14

¹²¶ Before being broken, the heart of man is haughty, and before coming into honour, comes being brought to humility.

¹³¶ For him that answers a word before he hears, it is folly and reproach unto him.

¹⁴¶ The spirit of man will bear his infirmity, but a broken spirit who can bear?
