Proverbs 26:2

American Standard Version

²As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying,
So the curse that is causeless ^[a]alighteth not.

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.

¹⁷^[a]He that passeth by, and vexeth himself with strife belonging not to him,
Is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

Proverbs 26:17 Or, He that vexeth himself . . . Is like one that taketh a passing dog etc.

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