Proverbs 25:8

Do not go out ^ahastily to plead your case;

Lest, what will you do in ¹the end,

When your neighbor humiliates you?

Proverbs 26:17

Like one who seizes a dog by the ears

Is he who passes by and becomes passionate about ^astrife not belonging to him.

Like charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,

So is a ^acontentious man to kindle strife.

When a wise man is brought into judgment with a man who is an ignorant fool,

¹The ignorant fool both rages and laughs, and there is no rest.
