Proverbs 26:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 A lazy person buries his hands in the dish;
he is too tired to return it to his mouth.
16 A lazy person is wiser in his eyes
than seven who answer discreetly.
17 Grabbing onto the ears of a dog
passing by is one who meddles in a quarrel that is not his own.
Proverbs 26:15-17
New International Version
Proverbs 26:15-17
New International Version
15 A sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.(A)
16 A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
than seven people who answer discreetly.
17 Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears
is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
