Proverbs 26:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁵ The lazy person buries a hand in the dish,
    and is too tired to bring it back to the mouth.
¹⁶ The lazy person is wiser in self-esteem
    than seven who can answer discreetly.
¹⁷ Like somebody who takes a passing dog by the ears
    is one who meddles in the quarrel of another.
