Proverbs 30:32

30 A lion, which is mighty among beasts
And does not turn away from any;

31 A¹ greyhound,
A male goat also,
And¹ a king whose troops are with him.

32 If you have been foolish in exalting yourself,
Or if you have devised evil, ^aput your hand on your mouth.

33 For as the churning of milk produces butter,
And wringing the nose produces blood,
So the forcing of wrath produces strife.

Proverbs 30:32

Lay thine hand upon thy mouth - The act expresses the silence of humiliation and repentance after the sin has been committed, and that of self-restraint, which checks the haughty or malignant thought before it has passed even into words.
