Proverbs 18:11-13
Easy-to-Read Version
11 The rich think their wealth will protect them. They think it is a strong fortress.
12 A proud person will soon be ruined, but a humble person will be honored.
13 Let people finish speaking before you try to answer them. That way you will not embarrass yourself and look foolish.

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)
