Proverbs 18:11-13
New Century Version
11 Rich people trust their wealth to protect them.
They think it is like the high walls of a city.
12 Proud people will be ruined,
but the humble will be honored.
13 Anyone who answers without listening
is foolish and confused.
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)
