Is there an equivalent in the Proverbaro?

You know, I'm not sure that this is idiomatic enough that it can't be used as a direct translation.

I don't think Esperanto is supposed to have idioms.

From the Proverbaro:

Ne veku malfeliĉon, kiam ĝi dormas.
www.robkeetlaer.nl/esperanto/proverbaro/eo/vorto_dorm.htm

Ne elvoku lupon el la arbaro.
Ne voku diablon, ĉar li povas veni.

'Let sleeping dogs lie', is a proverb not an idiom
