⁹ Do not be like the ^(A)horse or like the mule,
Which have no understanding,
Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,
Else they will not come near you.

39 I said, “I will guard my ways,
Lest I sin with my ^(A)tongue;
I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle,
While the wicked are before me.”

²⁸ Because your rage against Me and your tumult
Have come up to My ears,
Therefore ^(A)I will put My hook in your nose
And My bridle in your lips,
And I will turn you back
^(B)By the way which you came.

²⁹ Because your rage against Me and your tumult
Have come up to My ears,
Therefore ^(A)I will put My hook in your nose
And My bridle in your lips,
And I will ^(B)turn you back
By the way which you came.” ’
