King James Version
"He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears."
— Proverbs 26:17, King James Version
“He that passeth by, and vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him, Islikeone that taketh a dog by the ears. ”
“Like one who grabs a dog's ears is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.”
“Like one who grabs a wild dog by the ears, so is the person passing by who becomes furious over a quarrel not his own.”
“As he that taketh a dog by the ears, so is he that passeth by in anger, and meddleth with another man's quarrel.”
“He who gets mixed up in a fight which is not his business, is like one who takes a dog by the ears while it is going by.”
“He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.”
As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
