“Avoid Meddling”

He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears.
– Proverbs 26:17

Danger and futility of involving oneself in conflicts that don’t concern them. Just as grabbing a stray dog by the ears can lead to getting bitten, interfering in others’ disputes can bring unnecessary trouble upon oneself.
