Proverbs 26:17 BBE

¹⁵  The hater of work puts his hand deep into the basin: lifting it again to his mouth is a weariness to him.

¹⁶  The hater of work seems to himself wiser than seven men who are able to give an answer with good sense.

¹⁷  He who gets mixed up in a fight which is not his business, is like one who takes a dog by the ears while it is going by.

¹⁸  As one who is off his head sends about flaming sticks and arrows of death,

¹⁹  So is the man who gets the better of his neighbour by deceit, and says, Am I not doing so in sport?
