He who gives answer before he hears, that is folly and shame to him.
KJV
He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

Commentary
He that answereth a matter before he heareth it,.... Who is impatient, and cannot wait to hear it out, but breaks in upon the speaker before he has finished what he has to say; or is rash and precipitate, and returns an answer at once, without weighing and considering, and thoroughly understanding, what is said:
it is folly and shame unto him; his answer must be a foolish one, and bring shame and confusion upon him; men should be "swift to hear", and "slow to speak",
Jam 1:9
