Proverbs 26:17 in Context — Proverbs 26
15 O preguiçoso põe sua mão no prato, e acha cansativo demais trazê-la de volta a sua boca.
16 O preguiçoso se acha mais sábio aos próprios olhos do que sete que respondem com prudência.
17 Aquele que, enquanto está passando, [se envolve] em briga que não é sua, é [como] o que pega um cão pelas orelhas.
18 Como o louco que lança faíscas, flechas e coisas mortíferas,
19 Assim é o homem que engana a seu próximo, e diz: Não estava eu [só] brincando?
