Proverbs 30:32-33
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
32 If you have been foolish, exalting yourself,
or if you have been devising evil,
put your hand on your mouth.(A)
33 For as pressing milk produces curds
and pressing the nose produces blood,
so pressing anger produces strife.(B)
Proverbs 30:32-33
New International Version
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.”
Proverbs 30:32-33
King James Version
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
