The lion which is mighty among beasts And does not retreat before any,

The strutting rooster, the male goat also, And a king when his army is with him.

If you have been foolish in exalting yourself Or if you have plotted evil, put your hand on your mouth.

For the churning of milk produces butter, And pressing the nose brings forth blood; So the churning of anger produces strife.
