NASB
"Like one who takes a dog by the ears Is he who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him."
— Proverbs 26:17, NASB
“He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.”
“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 the door turns on its hinges, So does the sluggard on his bed.
The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again.
The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who can give a discreet answer.
Like one who takes a dog by the ears Is he who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him.
Like a madman who throws Firebrands, arrows and death,
So is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, "Was I not joking?"
For lack of wood the fire goes out, And where there is no whisperer, contention quiets down.
