2 Like a (A)sparrow in its [a]flitting, like a swallow in flying,So a (B)curse without cause does not come to pass.
2 Like (A)a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, (B)a curse that is causeless does not alight.
17 Like one who seizes a dog by the earsIs he who passes by and becomes passionate about (A)strife not belonging to him.
17 Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
