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

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

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