Proverbs 26:15-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 The lazy person buries a hand in the dish
and is too tired to bring it back to the mouth.(A)
16 The lazy person is wiser in self-esteem
than seven who can answer discreetly.
17 Like someone who takes a passing dog by the ears
is one who meddles in the quarrel of another.(B)
