Proverbs 26:2

English Standard Version

²Like ^(A)a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying,
^(B)a curse that is causeless does not alight.

Proverbs 26:2

Common English Bible

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

¹⁷Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own
is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.

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