13When one returneth an answer before he understandeth the question, it is folly unto him and shame.
14The spirit of a man will readily bear his disease; but a depressed spirit who can bear:
15The heart of the man of understanding will obtain knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeketh knowledge.
16A man's gift maketh room for him, and before great men will it lead him.
