He that passeth by - This proverb stands true ninety-nine times out of a hundred, where people meddle with domestic broils, or differences between men and their wives.
SDA Bible Commentary (limited)
Volume 1-7
17. Meddleth with strife. One who grasped one of the half-wild scavenger dogs of the East by the ears had a troublesome fight on his hands before he could subdue the dog or persuade it to go. Thus one who meddles in another’s quarrel is likely to get into more difficulty than he bargained for.
