Read in context

Proverbs 30:29–33 · Berean Standard Bible

29 There are three things that are stately in their stride, and four that are impressive in their walk:

30 a lion, mighty among beasts, refusing to retreat before anything;

31 a strutting rooster; a he-goat; and a king with his army around him.

32 If you have foolishly exalted yourself or if you have plotted evil, put your hand over your mouth.

33 For as the churning of milk yields butter, and the twisting of the nose draws blood, so the stirring of anger brings forth strife.”
