Proverbs 26:2

World English Bible

²Like a fluttering sparrow,
like a darting swallow,
so the undeserved curse doesn’t come to rest.

Proverbs 26:2

Modern English Version

²As the bird by flitting, as the swallow by flying,
so the curse without cause will not alight.

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

¹⁷Like one who grabs a dog’s ears
is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.

¹⁷He who passes by and meddles with strife not belonging to him
is like one who takes a dog by the ears.

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