Proverbs 18:11-13
Amplified Bible
11
The rich man’s wealth is his strong city,
And like a high wall [of protection] in his own imagination and conceit.
12
Before disaster the heart of a man is haughty and filled with self-importance,
But humility comes before honor.
13
He who answers before he hears [the facts]—
It is folly and shame to him.(A)
Proverbs 18:11-13
New International Version
11 The wealth of the rich is their fortified city;(A)
they imagine it a wall too high to scale.
12 Before a downfall the heart is haughty,
but humility comes before honor.(B)
13 To answer before listening—
that is folly and shame.(C)
