Whose hands(C) have gathered up the wind?

Proverbs 30:21-23
New International Version
21 “Under three things the earth trembles,
under four it cannot bear up:
22 a servant who becomes king,(A)
a godless fool who gets plenty to eat,
23 a contemptible woman who gets married,
and a servant who displaces her mistress.

21 Under three things the earth trembles,
under four it cannot remain steady:
22 Under a slave when he becomes a king,
a fool when he is overfed,
23 an unloved woman when she finds a husband,
and a servant girl who inherits from her mistress.
Proverbs 30:29-33
New International Version
Proverbs 30:29-33
New International Version
29 “There are three things that are stately in their stride,
four that move with stately bearing:
30 a lion, mighty among beasts,
who retreats before nothing;
31 a strutting rooster, a he-goat,
and a king secure against revolt.[a]
32 “If you play the fool and exalt yourself,
or if you plan evil,
clap your hand over your mouth!(A)
33 For as churning cream produces butter,
and as twisting the nose produces blood,
so stirring up anger produces strife.”

29 Three things are stately in procession,
four which are stately in their gait:
30 The lion, mighty among the beasts,
retreats before nothing.
31 The strutting rooster, as well as the goat,
and a king with his army.
32 If you’ve foolishly exalted yourself
or if you’ve plotted evil,
put your hand over your mouth.
33 Just as whipping milk produces butter,
and twisting the nose causes bleeding,
so also stirring up anger produces contention.
