Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 32 of Psalms. Psalm 32 celebrates the blessedness of forgiveness and describes the transformation produced by confessing sin. The psalmist’s silence before confession is presented as an experience of inner exhaustion, while confession opens the way to forgiveness. The subsequent teaching turns personal experience into instruction: God guides human beings, while the stubbornness of the wicked contrasts with the trust of those who take refuge in the Lord.

Seid nicht wie Rosse und Maultiere, die nicht verständig sind, welchen man Zaum und Gebiß muß ins Maul legen, wenn sie nicht zu dir wollen.
No seáis como el caballo, o como el mulo, sin entendimiento: Con cabestro y con freno su boca ha de ser reprimida, Para que no lleguen a ti.
No sean como el caballo o el mulo, sin entendimiento, que necesitan freno y brida para sujetarlos; de otro modo no se acercan a ti.
Ne soyez pas comme un cheval ou un mulet sans intelligence; On les bride avec un frein et un mors, dont on les pare, Afin qu'ils ne s'approchent point de toi.
Non siate come il cavallo, nè come il mulo, che sono senza intelletto; La cui bocca conviene frenare con morso e con freno, Altrimenti non si accosterebbero a te.
Não sejais como o cavalo, nem como a mula, que não têm entendimento, cuja boca precisa de cabresto e freio para que não se cheguem a ti.
你不可像那無知的騾馬, 須用嚼環韁繩勒住, 不然,牠就不會靠近你。
