SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:3

¶ Honra es del hombre dejarse de contienda; mas todo loco se envolverá en ella .

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 20:3

Verse 3. It is an honoer for a man ] The same sentiment as chap. xix. 11.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 3. [It is] an honour for a man to cease from
strife , etc.] As Abraham did, ( Genesis 13:7,8); 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).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 3 - To engage in quarrels is the greatest
folly that can be. Yield, an even give up just demands, for peace' sake.
