Proverbs 18:13 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Before he heareth it; before he hath fully heard and considered what another is speaking about it. It is folly and shame; 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 cart say before he hath uttered it.

Proverbs 18:13

13 He that answerethc a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
