Proverbs 18:13

Proverbs 18:13—“He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.”

Jumping to conclusions without hearing the full story leads to folly and shame, as Proverbs 18:13 warns. Acting on half-baked information isn’t just foolish—it’s arrogant, often backfiring in ways that leave you looking ignorant. The Bible emphasizes patience and discernment (Proverbs 10:19, 29:20), and real-life proves it: misunderstandings and conflicts often stem from not listening. The takeaway? Keep your mouth in park until your ears are in drive—because a reckless tongue guarantees regret.
