Proverbs 18:12 Context
10The name of the Lord is a a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. 11The rich mans wealth is his strong citie: and as an high wall in his owne conceit. 12Before destruction the heart of man is haughtie, and before honour is humilitie. 13He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame vnto him. 14The spirit of a man will sustaine his infirmitie: but a wounded spirit who can beare?
