Proverbs 26:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ The lazy person ·thinks he is wiser [^Lis wiser in his own eyes]
than seven people who give sensible answers.

¹⁷ Interfering in ·someone else’s quarrel as you pass by [or a fight not your own]
is like grabbing a dog by the ears [^Las it passes by; ^Cthe idea of passing by can go with either line].

¹⁸ Like a madman shooting
    deadly, burning arrows
