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.

¹⁷He that passeth by and meddleth in strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.

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.
