Proverbs 26:17

Catholic Public Domain Version

Just like one who takes hold of a dog by the ears, so also is he who crosses impatiently and meddles in the quarrels of another.

See the chapter Copy

Honor is for the man who separates himself from contentions. But all the foolish meddle in altercations.

Just as he is guilty who let loose the arrows and the lances unto death,

But he said to him, "Man, who has appointed me as judge or arbitrator over you?"
