Proverbs 26:15-17
American Standard Version
15 The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish;
It wearieth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is wiser in [a]his own conceit
Than seven men that can [b]render a reason.
17 [c]He that passeth by, and vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him,
Is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
