Proverbs 30:33-31:3
New International Version - UK

33 For as churning cream produces butter,
    and as twisting the nose produces blood,
    so stirring up anger produces strife.’

Sayings of King Lemuel

31 The sayings of King Lemuel – an inspired utterance his mother taught him.

2 Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb!
    Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers!
3 Do not spend your strength[a] on women,
    your vigour on those who ruin kings.
