Proverbs 18:14 Context
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? 15The heart of the prudent getteth knowledge; and the eare of the wise seeketh knowledge. 16A mans gift maketh roome for him, & bringeth him before great men.
