Proverbs 30:31-33

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³¹the strutting rooster,^[a] the he-goat,
and a king striding before^[b] his people.

³²If you have been foolish, exalting yourself,
    or if you have been devising evil,
    put your hand on your mouth.
³³For as pressing milk produces curds,
    and pressing the nose produces blood,
    so pressing anger produces strife.
