Proverbs 26:2

Lexham English Bible

²Like the sparrow is to fluttering and like the swallow is to flying,
so an undeserved curse does not go forth.

Proverbs 26:2

Common English Bible

²Like a darting sparrow, like a flying swallow,
so an undeserved curse never arrives.

²Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow,
an undeserved curse does not come to rest.^(A)

¹⁷Grabbing onto the ears of a dog
passing by is one who meddles in a quarrel that is not his own.

¹⁷ Like yanking the ears of a dog,
so is one who passes by and gets involved in another person’s fight.

¹⁷Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears
is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
