Proverbs 18:12-14

Authorized (King James) Version

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

¹³ He that answereth a matter before he heareth it,
    it is folly and shame unto him.

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