Proverbs 26:17

New Century Version

Interfering in someone else’s quarrel as you pass by is like grabbing a dog by the ears.

See the chapter Copy

Foolish people are always fighting, but avoiding quarrels will bring you honor.

But Jesus said to him, “Who said I should judge or decide between you?”

The words of fools start quarrels. They make people want to beat them.

Disobedient people look only for trouble, so a cruel messenger will be sent against them.

Don’t accuse a person for no good reason; don’t accuse someone who has not harmed you.

Like a madman shooting deadly, burning arrows
