Proverbs 26:16-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 26
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
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
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
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

16
A sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven people who answer discreetly.

Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.

Chapter 26
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.
