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 fluttering sparrow or a swallow in flight, a curse without cause will 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 Picking up a dog by the ears— that’s what someone is like who[a] meddles in another’s fight.
