Proverbs 26:17

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

It's better to take hold of a mad dog by the ears than to take part in someone else's argument.

See the chapter Copy

It makes you look good when you avoid a fight— only fools love to quarrel.

Jesus answered, “Who gave me the right to settle arguments between you and your brother?”

Foolish talk will get you into a lot of trouble.

Cruel people want to rebel, and so vicious attackers will be sent against them.

Don't argue just to be arguing, when you haven't been hurt.

It's no crazier to shoot sharp and flaming arrows
