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,
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 man1 nhastens 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.
