Exegesis
The second clause combines the Qal participle ʿōvēr {עֹבֵר | ʿōvēr} with the reflexive Hitpael mit-ʿabbēr {מִתְעַבֵּ֗ר | mit-ʿabbēr} ‘who becomes enraged,’ conveying self-generated anger.

In context — Proverbs 26:17
Like one who grips a dog by its ears, so is a passerby who kindles his own fury in a quarrel not his own.
