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.

Verse 33 is found in chapter 30 of Proverbs. Agur’s final series considers four beings that walk with majestic bearing: the lion, the rooster, the male goat, and a king before his people. The observation culminates in a warning against pride and provocation. Just as churning milk produces butter and striking the nose produces blood, anger also produces consequences. Self-control prevents conflicts that later become difficult to stop.

Wenn man Milch stößt, so macht man Butter daraus; und wer die Nase hart schneuzt, zwingt Blut heraus; und wer den Zorn reizt, zwingt Hader heraus.
Ciertamente el que exprime la leche, sacará manteca; Y el que recio se suena las narices, sacará sangre: Y el que provoca la ira, causará contienda.
Car la pression du lait produit de la crème, La pression du nez produit du sang, Et la pression de la colère produit des querelles.
Perciocchè, come chi rimena il latte ne fa uscir del burro; E chi stringe il naso, ne fa uscir del sangue; Così ancora chi preme l’ira ne fa uscir contesa
Porque o mexer do leite produz manteiga, o espremer do nariz produz sangue; assim o forçar da ira produz contenda.
攪動牛奶必成乳酪, 扭鼻子必出血, 照樣,激發烈怒必挑起爭端。
