English Standard Version
Proverbs 26:15-17
English Standard Version
15 (A)The sluggard buries his hand in the dish;
it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.
16 The sluggard is (B)wiser in his own eyes
(C)than seven men who can answer sensibly.
17 Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own
is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
Proverbs 26:15-17

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.
