Proverbs 26:15-17
Jubilee Bible 2000
15 ¶ The slothful hides his hand in his bosom; it grieves him to bring it again to his mouth.
16 ¶ The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can give him counsel.
17 ¶ He that passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him is like one that takes a dog by the ears.

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.
