Proverbs 26:15-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁵ The ^(A)sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.
¹⁶ The sluggard is ^(B)wiser in his own eyes
Than seven men who can ^[a]give a discreet answer.
¹⁷ Like one who takes a dog by the ears
Is he who passes by and ^[b]meddles with ^(C)strife not belonging to him.
