Proverbs 26:17
King James VersionSource notes
“He that passeth by, meddleth with strife not to him, one that taketh a dog by the ears.”
Context
14the door turneth upon his hinges, so the slothful upon his bed.
15The slothful hideth his hand in bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.
16The sluggard wiser in his own conceit than seven men that can render a reason.
17He that passeth by, meddleth with strife not to him, one that taketh a dog by the ears.
18As a mad who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,
19So the man deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
20Where no wood is, the fire goeth out: so where no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
