Proverbs 30:31-33
Evangelical Heritage Version

31 a strutting rooster,[a]
    a male goat,
    and a king reviewing his troops.[b]

32 If you have acted like a fool by exalting yourself,
or if you have been scheming,
put your hand over your mouth,
33 because just as pressing milk produces cheese,[c]
and pressing a nose brings forth blood,
so pressing one’s anger produces a fight.
