Proverbs 26:15-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 26
15
A lazy one buries his hand in the dish;
He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.
16
A lazy one is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven
people
who can give a discreet answer.
17
Like
one who takes a dog by the ears,
So
is one who passes by
and
meddles with strife not belonging to him.
King James Version
Chapter 26
15
The slothful hideth his hand in
his
bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16
The sluggard
is
wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17
He that passeth by,
and
meddleth with strife
belonging
not to him,
is like
one that taketh a dog by the ears.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 26
15
The slacker buries his hand in the bowl; he is too weary to bring it to his mouth!
16
In his own eyes, a slacker is wiser than seven who can answer sensibly.
17
A person who is passing by and meddles in a quarrel that's not his is like one who grabs a dog by the ears.
New Living Translation
Chapter 26
15
Lazy people take food in their hand
but don’t even lift it to their mouth.
16
Lazy people consider themselves smarter
than seven wise counselors.
17
Interfering in someone else’s argument
is as foolish as yanking a dog’s ears.
English Standard Version
Chapter 26
15
The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; it wears him out to bring it back to his mouth.
16
The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes 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.
New International Version
Chapter 26
15
A sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.
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.
New King James Version
Chapter 26
15
The lazy
man
buries his hand in the bowl;
It wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
16
The lazy
man is
wiser in his own eyes
Than seven men who can answer sensibly.
17
He who passes by
and
meddles in a quarrel not his own
Is like
one who takes a dog by the ears.
