17 Quien se mete en una pelea que no le corresponde es como quien agarra por las orejas a un perro que pasa.
17 Like one who grabs a dog’s ears is one who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own.
18 Como un loco que lanza palos encendidos y flechas mortales,
18 Like a madman who shoots torches, arrows, and death,
19 así es quien engaña a su prójimo y luego dice: «¿Acaso no estaba bromeando?».
19 is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, “Am I not joking?”
20 Sin leña se apaga el fuego; sin chismes se acaba la discusión.
20 For lack of wood a fire goes out. Without gossip, a quarrel dies down.
21 Como soplar sobre las brasas y echar leña al fuego, una persona que busca discusiones provoca peleas.
21 As coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to kindling strife.
22 Las palabras de quien habla mal de su vecino a escondidas son como bocados dulces que bajan hasta lo profundo del estómago.
