Proverbs 26:17-19

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ A person who is passing by and meddles in a quarrel that’s not his
is like one who grabs a dog by the ears.
¹⁸ Like a madman who throws flaming darts and deadly arrows,^(A)
19 so is the man who deceives his neighbor
and says, “I was only joking!”
