Proverbs 18:13

“He that answereth a matter before he heareth [it], etc.] Who is impatient, and cannot wait to hear it out, but breaks in upon the speaker before he has finished what he has to say; or is rash and precipitate, and returns an answer at once, without weighing and considering, and thoroughly understanding, what is said: it [is] folly and shame unto him; his answer must be a foolish one, and bring shame and confusion upon him; men should be “swift to hear”, and “slow to speak”, (<590109>James 1:9).”

“Hasty speech evinces self-conceit, and ensures shame (Pro 26:12).”

“that: Deu 13:14; Sa2 16:4, Sa2 19:24-30; Est 3:10-15, Est 8:5-17; Job 29:16; Dan 6:9, Dan 6:14; Joh 7:51 answereth a matter: Heb. returneth a word Proverbs 18:14”
