Proverbs 26:15-20

¹⁵The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and it grieueth him to put it againe to his mouth.

¹⁶The sluggard is wiser in his owne conceite, then seuen men that can render a reason.

¹⁷He that passeth by and medleth with the strife that belongeth not vnto him, is as one that taketh a dog by the eares.

¹⁸As he that faineth himselfe mad, casteth fire brands, arrowes, and mortall things,

¹⁹So dealeth the deceitfull man with his friend and sayth, Am not I in sport?

²⁰Without wood the fire is quenched, and without a talebearer strife ceaseth.
