Proverbs 18:11-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹¹ A ^(A)rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall in his own imagination.
^12 (B)Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,
But ^(C)humility goes before honor.
¹³ He who ^(D)gives an answer before he hears,
It is folly and shame to him.
