Proverbs 26:15-20

¹⁵A slow man hideth his hands under his armpit; and he travaileth, if he turneth them up to his mouth.

¹⁶A slow man seemeth wiser to himself, than seven men speaking sentences.

¹⁷As he that taketh a dog by the ears; so he that passeth, and is unpatient, and is meddled or mingled with the chiding of another man.

¹⁸As he is guilty, that sendeth spears and arrows into death,

¹⁹so a man that annoyeth guilefully his friend, and when he is taken, he shall say, I did playing.

²⁰When trees or woods shall fail, the fire shall be quenched; and when a privy backbiter is withdrawn, strives rest.
