Proverbs 18:13

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

He that answereth a matter, etc. Thus Ecclesiasticus 11:8, "Answer not before thou hast heard the, cause; neither interrupt men in the midst of their talk." A reminiscence of the passage occurs in the Talmud ('Aboth.' 5. 10), "I weighed all things in the balance, and found nothing lighter than meal; lighter than meal is the betrothed man who dwells in the house of his intended father-in-law; lighter than he is a guest who introduces a friend; and lighter than he is the man who answers before he has heard the other's speech". So Menander??

Seneca, 'Medea,' 199??

"Qui statuit aliquid, parte inaudita altera,

AEquum licet statuerit, haud aequus erit."
