Proverbs 30:32–33

or if you have been devising evil,
eput your hand on your mouth.
33 For pressing milk produces curds,
pressing the nose produces blood,
and pressing anger produces strife.
Proverbs 30:32–33 — The New International Version (NIV)

or if you plan evil,
clap your hand over your mouth!
33 For as churning cream produces butter,
and as twisting the nose produces blood,
so stirring up anger produces strife.”

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.
Proverbs 30:32–33 — New Living Translation (NLT)
32 If you have been a fool by being proud or plotting evil,
cover your mouth in shame.
33 As the beating of cream yields butter
and striking the nose causes bleeding,
so stirring up anger causes quarrels.

And wringing the nose produces blood,
So the forcing of wrath produces strife.
Proverbs 30:32–33 — New Century Version (NCV)

and twisting noses makes them bleed,
so stirring up anger causes trouble.”
