Maybe the favour from humility to listen is the strength from what you learn on listening.
Not saying that anyone is not like this btw.
Wisdom is strength though Brothers and Sisters as its how God views the world. He made the world in wisdom remember.
We can see if we are wise if we become listeners in a conversation. Not people who just want to expres their own opinion. I struggle with this so your not the only one, but sometimes I do it and I know it is right. It is the listeners that learn more and because they are humble, God favours them. Maybe the favour is strength from what they learn. The Proverb below is only a principle as I would never call someone a fool.
A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.
Proverbs 18:2 ESV
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
James 4:6 ESV
