Proverbs 18:12-14
The Voice
12 A proud heart precedes destruction,
and before honor is humility.
13 To respond to a matter before you hear about it
shows foolishness and brings shame.
14 The human spirit can endure a long illness,
but who can survive a crushed spirit?
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)
