DAY 75
Answering Before Listening
기원전 10~6세기 편집 (히브리 지혜문학)
ORIGINAL
מֵשִׁיב דָּבָר בְּטֶרֶם יִשְׁמָע אִוֶּלֶת הִיא־לוֹ וּכְלִמָּה
📜 THE VERSE
Answering before listening — that is folly and shame.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Before the other finished speaking, had I already fixed my answer?
📝Reflection
How often an answer that leapt out before I listened shamed me later. A remark half-heard and prejudged usually misread the other person. To listen is not to receive sound but to stand, briefly, in their place. Answering after hearing it all is never too late — in fact, that short wait is what saves the bond.

In a conversation today, wait one beat after the other fully finishes before you answer.
