Proverbs 26:17

God's Word

⌞Like⌟ grabbing a dog by the ears, ⌞so⌟ is a bystander who gets involved in someone else’s quarrel.

See the chapter Copy

A rebel looks for nothing but evil. Therefore, a cruel messenger will be sent ⌞to punish⌟ him.

By talking, a fool gets into an argument, and his mouth invites a beating.

Avoiding a quarrel is honorable. After all, any stubborn fool can start a fight.

Like a madman who shoots flaming arrows, arrows, and death,

Do not quarrel with a person for no reason if he has not harmed you.

Jesus said to him, “Who appointed me to be your judge or to divide ⌞your inheritance⌟?”
