Bible Comments

He that passeth by Who is going on the way about his business; and meddleth with strife, &c. In which he is not concerned, nor any way obliged to meddle; is like one that taketh a dog by the ears Exposes himself to great and needless hazard, as a man that unnecessarily provoketh a mastiff dog against himself.

Proverbs 26:17

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