Bible Comments

He that answereth a matter before he beareth it Before he hath fully heard and considered what another is speaking about it; it is folly and shame unto him It is a shameful folly, though he seek the reputation of a wise man by it; as if he could readily and thoroughly understand all that another can say before he has uttered it.
