Proverbs 30:32 Context
30A lyon which is strongest among beastes, and turneth not away for any: 31A gray-hound; an hee-goate also; and a king, against whom there is no rising vp. 32If thou hast done foolishly in lifting vp thy selfe, or if thou hast thought euill, lay thine hand vpon thy mouth. 33Surely the churning of milke bringeth forth butter; and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
