13  If one gives an answer ^obefore he hears,

it is his folly and shame.

2  Desire¹ without knowledge is not good,

and whoever ^cmakes haste with his feet misses his way.

5  The plans of ^ethe diligent lead surely to abundance,

but everyone who is ^fhasty comes ^gonly to poverty.

7  for ^uit is better to be told, “Come up here,”

than to be put lower in the presence of a noble.

What your eyes have seen

8  ^wdo not hastily bring into court,¹

for² what will you do in the end,

when your neighbor puts you to shame?

20  A faithful man will abound with blessings,

but whoever hastens to be rich ^jwill not go unpunished.

22  A ^mstingy man^{1 n}hastens after wealth

and does not know that ^opoverty will come upon him.

20  Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?

^cThere is more hope for a fool than for him.
