17 Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.
17 Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
17 You grab a mad dog by the ears when you butt into a quarrel that's none of your business.
17 He who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own Is like one who takes a dog by the ears.
17 Interfering in someone else's argument is as foolish as yanking a dog's ears.

(Read Proverbs 26:17)
To make ourselves busy in other men's matters, is to thrust ourselves into temptation.
