Here is the verse in three versions:<\/p>\n
Surely he who stirs milk will get out butter, and he who blows his nose hard will get out blood; and he who provokes wrath will cause contention.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Ciertamente el que bate la leche sacar\u00e1 mantequilla, Y el que recio se suena las narices sacar\u00e1 sangre; Y el que provoca la ira causar\u00e1 contienda.<\/p>\n
The first version is my translation of the third (which is Reina-Valera 1960).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Put pressure on someone who is already angry and you’ll surely get contention and strife.<\/strong> <\/p>\n
Please note that verse does not say to not do such a thing. It is letting me know in advance about a certain cause-and-effect sequence.<\/p>\n
It is good to be forewarned.<\/p>\n
Like I said at the beginning, I need to put pressure on someone who is already angry and bitter. Oh boy. \ud83d\ude33<\/p>\n
(Did I say need<\/em>? Hmmm…)<\/p>\n
This verse also forewarns me about my responses to someone’s pressure on me when I’m upset or angry. And that reminds me of this: The Power of the Tongue<\/a>.<\/p>\n
And this…<\/p>\n
When I feel anger rising in me,
\nI can turn it away
\nby choosing a soft answer instead of grievous words.
