Proverbs 18:11-13
New Catholic Bible

11 The wealth of a rich man is his stronghold;
    he regards it as a high wall that cannot be scaled.
12 A man is haughty until disaster overtakes him,
    but humility comes before honors.
13 One who answers before listening
    exposes his folly and incurs shame.
