You eggs; don’t fight with rocks.
Meaning in plain English
Eggs warned not to fight rocks contrast fragility with a resistant opponent. The irregular wording supports only a qualified image of unequal force.
Example
A reader notices the unequal-material image while considering whether a dispute needs support or a different approach.
Deeper explanation and when to use it

When to use it
Use it only as a qualified reading with source irregularity explicit.
Keep in mind
No fixed human weakness, confrontation procedure or verified traditional interpretation is established.
