13 If one gives an answer before he hears,

it is his folly and shame.

13 He that answereth a matter before he heareth it,

It is folly and shame unto him.

13 Spouting off before listening to the facts

is both shameful and foolish.

13 He who answers a matter before he hears it,

It is folly and shame to him.

13 Anyone who answers without listening

is foolish and confused.

13 He that giveth answer before he heareth,

It is folly and shame unto him.

13 He that giveth answer before he heareth, it is folly and shame unto him.

13 Whoever gives an answer before he listens is stupid and shameful. 

13 The one who gives an answer before he listens—

this is foolishness and disgrace for him.

13 If one gives answer before hearing,

it is folly and shame.

13 He who returns a word before he will hear,

folly itself belongs to him as well as shame.

13 To answer before listening

is foolish and shameful.

13 He who gives an answer before he hears,

It is folly and shame to him.
