Proverbs 18:15
Compare all
13 He who answers a matter before he hears it,
It is folly and shame to him.
14 The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness,
But who can bear a broken spirit?
15 The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge,
And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16 aA man’s gift makes room for him,
And brings him before great men. 
17 The first one to plead his cause seems right,
Until his neighbor comes and examines him.

Proverbs 18:15

With the wise and prudent there is no loss of time. "Heart" and "ear" - the mind working within, or gathering from without materials for its thought - are, through this channel or that, ever gaining knowledge.
