Proverbs 30:29-32
New International Version - UK
29 ‘There are three things that are stately in their stride,
four that move with stately bearing:
30 a lion, mighty among beasts,
who retreats before nothing;
31 a strutting cock, a he-goat,
and a king secure against revolt.[a]
32 ‘If you play the fool and exalt yourself,
or if you plan evil,
clap your hand over your mouth!

King James Version
29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
