Verse 13 is found in chapter 17 of Proverbs. Rebellion, strife, and perversity are treated as destructive forces. The image of a bear robbed of her cubs illustrates the danger of confronting a fool committed to his folly. Intervening in someone else’s dispute can be as foolish as taking a dog by the ears. Control of the tongue and heart appears again as a mark of wisdom.
