Proverbs 30:32-33
English Standard Version
32 If you have been foolish, exalting yourself,
or if you have been devising evil,
(A)put your hand on your mouth.
33 For pressing milk produces curds,
pressing the nose produces blood,
and pressing anger produces strife.
Proverbs 30:32-33
New International Version - UK
32 ‘If you play the fool and exalt yourself,
or if you plan evil,
clap your hand over your mouth!
33 For as churning cream produces butter,
and as twisting the nose produces blood,
so stirring up anger produces strife.’
Proverbs 30:32-33
American Standard Version
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself,
Or if thou hast thought evil,
Lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
33 For the [a]churning of milk bringeth forth butter,
And the [b]wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood;
So the [c]forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
