Impetuous vs. wisdom

Proverbs 14:8 “The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.” We all need to carefully think before we speak.  It is always, without exception, always good to listen carefully to another person’s words and then to evaluate the meaning intended of those words before offering a response.  An impetuous or impulsive response will never produce the wisdom gained and spoken through careful and wise listening.
