Es honra para el hombre eludir las contiendas, pero cualquier necio se enredará en ellas.
Honra es al hombre el apartarse de contienda; mas todo insensato se envolver� en ella.
Honra es del hombre dejarse de contienda; mas todo loco se envolver� en ella .

Gill's Notes on the Bible
[It is] an honour for a man to cease from strife,.... As Abraham did, Genesis 13:7; when engaged in a quarrel with his neighbour, or in a lawsuit, or in a religious controversy, especially when he finds he is in the wrong; and indeed, if he is in the right, when he perceives it is like to issue in no good, and is only about words to no profit, it is an honour to drop it;
but every fool will be meddling; with things he has no concern in, or is not equal to; yet will carry on the debate, though it is to his disgrace; see Proverbs 17:14.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Meddling - See Proverbs 17:14 note.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
