Proverbs 26:2

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying,
an undeserved curse goes nowhere.^(A)

Proverbs 26:2

Lexham English Bible

²Like the sparrow is to fluttering and like the swallow is to flying,
so an undeserved curse does not go forth.

¹⁷Like someone who takes a passing dog by the ears
is one who meddles in the quarrel of another.^(A)

¹⁷Grabbing onto the ears of a dog
passing by is one who meddles in a quarrel that is not his own.
