Like one who grabs a dog’s ears is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.

ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૬:૧૭
જે રસ્તે ચાલતાં પારકાના કજિયાની ખટપટમાં પડે છે તે કૂતરાના કાન પકડનારના જેવો છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २६:१७
जो मार्ग पर चलते हुए पराए झगड़े में विघ्न डालता है, वह उसके समान है, जो कुत्ते को कानों से पकड़ता है।

In context

15The sluggard buries his hand in the dish. He is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth.

16The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer with discretion.

17Like one who grabs a dog’s ears is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.

18Like a madman who shoots torches, arrows, and death,

19is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “Am I not joking?”
