Proverbs 30:28-33

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

28 You can catch lizards in your hand, but they are in kings' palaces.

29 There are three things that are excellent in their stride, four that are excellent as they walk:

30 a lion, a warrior among beasts, which doesn't back down at anything;

31 the strut of a rooster or a male goat; and a king with his army.

32 If you've been foolish and arrogant, if you've been scheming, put your hand to your mouth,

33 because churning milk makes curds, squeezing the nose brings blood, and stirring up anger produces strife.

New International Version NIV

28 a lizard can be caught with the hand, yet it is found in kings’ palaces.

29 “There are three things that are stately in their stride, four that move with stately bearing:

30 a lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing;

31 a strutting rooster, a he-goat, and a king secure against revolt.

32 “If you play the fool and exalt yourself, 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.”
