Proverbs 26:17

Hebrew Names version (HNV)

Like one who grabs a dog's ears is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.

See the chapter Copy

An evil man seeks only rebellion; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

A fool's lips come into strife, and his mouth invites beatings.

It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife; but every fool will be quarreling.

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

Don't strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.

But he said to him, *Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?*
