Proverbs 18:12-15 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

12. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour goeth humility.

13. He that giveth answer before he heareth, it is folly and shame unto him.

14. The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a broken spirit who can bear?

15. The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
