2 Like (A)a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, (B)a curse that is causeless does not alight.
2 Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, an undeserved curse goes nowhere.(A)
17 Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
17 Like someone who takes a passing dog by the ears is one who meddles in the quarrel of another.(A)
