29 There are three going well, || Indeed, four are good in going: Three things are stately in their tread; four are stately in their stride: “There are three things that are stately in their stride, four that move with stately bearing:
30 An old lion—mighty among beasts, || That does not turn back from the face of any, the lion, which is mightiest among beasts and does not turn back before any; a lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing;
31 A girt one of the loins, || Also a male goat, || And a king—troops with him. the strutting rooster, the he-goat, and a king whose army is with him. a strutting rooster, a he-goat, and a king secure against revolt.
32 If you have been foolish in lifting yourself up, || And if you have devised evil—hand to mouth! If you have been foolish, exalting yourself, or if you have been devising evil, put your hand on your mouth. “If you play the fool and exalt yourself, or if you plan evil, clap your hand over your mouth!
33 For the churning of milk brings out butter, || And the wringing of the nose brings out blood, || And the forcing of anger brings out strife! For pressing milk produces curds, pressing the nose produces blood, and pressing anger produces strife. For as churning cream produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife.”
