Proverbs 30:32

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

If thou wert foolish in lifting up thyself, and if thou purposed, the hand to the mouth.

See the chapter Copy

Look to me and be astonished, and put the hand upon the mouth.

And we know that whatever says the law, it speaks to them in the law: that every mouth be shut, and all the world be culpable to God.

Sawest thou a man wise in his eyes? hope is for the foolish one more than for him.

Behold, I was vile; what shall I turn back to thee? I put my hand to my mouth.

Also the foolish one being silent shall be thought wise: and he shutting his lips, understanding.

One girded in loins, or a he goat; and a king, no rising up with him.
