Proverbs 30:33

Next

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.

Surely the churning {H4330} of milk {H2461} bringeth forth {H3318} butter {H2529}, and the wringing {H4330} of the nose {H639} bringeth forth {H3318} blood {H1818}: so the forcing {H4330} of wrath {H639} bringeth forth {H3318} strife {H7379}.

For as pressing milk produces butter and pressing the nose produces blood, so pressing out anger produces strife.

For as the churning of milk yields butter, and the twisting of the nose draws blood, so the stirring of anger brings forth strife.”

For the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood; So the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
