Proverbs 18:11-13

New Living Translation

¹¹The rich think of their wealth as a strong defense;
they imagine it to be a high wall of safety.

¹²Haughtiness goes before destruction;
humility precedes honor.

¹³Spouting off before listening to the facts
is both shameful and foolish.

Proverbs 18:11-13

New International Version

¹¹The wealth of the rich is their fortified city;^(A)
they imagine it a wall too high to scale.

¹²Before a downfall the heart is haughty,
but humility comes before honor.^(B)

¹³To answer before listening—
that is folly and shame.^(C)
