Proverbs 18:12 (BSB)
Context Reading
10The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. 11A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city; it is like a high wall in his imagination. 12Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor. 13He who answers a matter before he hears it — this is folly and disgrace to him. 14The spirit of a man can endure his sickness, but who can survive a broken spirit?
