Proverbs 26:17

King James Version - American Edition

He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

See the chapter Copy

An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.

It is an honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.

As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,

Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
