Μὴ ὁ νόμος ἡμῶν κρίνει τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσῃ παρ' αὐτοῦ πρότερον καὶ γνῷ τί ποιεῖ
Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
מֵשִׁיב דָּבָר בְּטֶרֶם יִשְׁמָע אִוֶּלֶת הִיא-לוֹ וּכְלִמָּֽה׃
He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
