Abba San

Legacy of Elijah [LoE] - Proud Grandfather
Here is a verse you may never have thought about - maybe not even seen - but is good advice for people in forums and life.

Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own. Proverbs 26:17 (NIV)

You grab a mad dog by the ears when you butt into a quarrel that's none of your business. Proverbs 26:17 (MSG)

It's better to take hold of a mad dog by the ears than to take part in someone else's argument. Proverbs 26:17 (CEV)

What great imagery. Imagine having a mad dog by the ears - you can't let go without getting bit - and the more you hold on the madder he gets. That's what you are doing when you get involved in a quarrel that's none of your business.
