SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:13

¶ El que responde palabra antes de oír, le es locura y oprobio.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 18:13

Verse 13. He that answereth a matter ] This is a common case; before a man can tell out his story, another will begin his. Before a man has made his response, the other wishes to confute piecemeal, though he has had his own speech already. This is foolishness to them. They are ill-bred. There are many also that give judgment before they hear the whole of the cause, and express an opinion before they hear the state of the case. How absurd, stupid, and foolish!

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 13. He that answereth a matter before he heareth [it] , etc.] Who is impatient, and cannot wait to hear it out, but breaks in upon the speaker before he has finished what he has to say; or is rash and precipitate, and returns an answer at once, without weighing and considering, and thoroughly understanding, what is said: it [is] folly and shame unto him ; his answer must be a foolish one, and bring shame and confusion upon him; men should be “swift to hear”, and “slow to speak”, ( James 1:9).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 13 - Eagerness, with self-conceit, will expose to shame.
