29 Three things are stately in their stride;
four are stately in their gait:
30 the lion, which is mightiest among wild animals
and does not turn back before any;(A)
31 the strutting rooster,[a] the he-goat,
and a king against whom none can stand.
32 If you have been foolish, exalting yourself,
or if you have been devising evil,
put your hand on your mouth.(B)
33 For as pressing milk produces curds
and pressing the nose produces blood,
so pressing anger produces strife.(C)
