Berean Standard Bible
Proverbs 26:16
“The slacker is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly.”
In context
14As a door turns on its hinges, so the slacker turns on his bed.
15The slacker buries his hand in the dish; it wearies him to bring it back to his mouth.
16The slacker is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly.
17Like one who grabs a dog by the ears is a passerby who meddles in a quarrel not his own.
