Proverbs 26:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶ A person who doesn’t want to work is wiser in his own eyes
    than seven people who give careful answers.

¹⁷ Don’t be quick to get mixed up in someone else’s fight.
    That’s like grabbing a stray dog by its ears.

¹⁸ Suppose a crazy person shoots
    flaming arrows that can kill.
