Passage: Proverbs 18:1-24

Big Idea: Listening determines the kind of person you are.

Proverbs 18 (ESV)

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,
    but only in expressing his opinion.

13 If one gives an answer before he hears,
    it is his folly and shame.

15 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge,
    and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
