Proverbs 19:2
Compare all
1 Better ais the poor who walks in his integrity
Than one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. 
2 Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge,
And he sins who hastens with his feet.
3 The foolishness of a man twists his way,
And his heart frets against the Lord.
4 aWealth makes many friends,
But the poor is separated from his friend.

Proverbs 19:2

The Amplified edition adds the following insightful details: “Also, it is not good for a person to be without knowledge, and he who hurries with his feet [acting impulsively and proceeding without caution or analyzing the consequences] sins (misses the mark).” If we rush into something without fully understanding it, the consequences can be detrimental. Too many of us have been led astray when we forget that knowledge and insight are crucial in guiding our otherwise faltering steps.
