Proverbs 26:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ A person who doesn’t want to work leaves his hand in his plate.
    He acts as if he is too tired to bring his hand back up to his mouth.

¹⁶ A person who doesn’t want to work is wiser in his own eyes
    than seven people who give careful answers.

¹⁷ Don’t be quick to get mixed up in someone else’s fight.
    That’s like grabbing a stray dog by its ears.
