And the wringing - Who hugeli snytith drawith out blood. - Old MS. Bible. This is well expressed in homely phrase. The Septuagint have, "draw the milk, and you may have butter; if you press the nostrils you may bring out blood; and if you draw out your discourse to a great length, you may have strife and contention."Avoid, therefore, all strong excitements and irritations. Coverdale’ s translation of this verse is very simple: "Whoso chyrneth mylck maketh butter; he that rubbeth his nose maketh it blede; and he that causeth wrath bryngeth forth strife."

TSK: Pro 30:33 - -- so : Pro 15:18, Pro 16:28, Pro 17:14, Pro 26:21, Pro 28:25, Pro 29:22

Churning ... wringing ... forcing - In the Hebrew text it is one and the same word. "The pressure of milk produces curds, the pressure of the nose produces blood, the pressure of wrath (i. e., brooding over and, as it were, condensing it) produces strife."

Poole: Pro 30:33 - -- The forcing of wrath the stirring up of wrath, either, 1. In a man’ s self towards others, by giving way to passion, or by fixing his thoughts ...

The forcing of wrath the stirring up of wrath, either,

1. In a man’ s self towards others, by giving way to passion, or by fixing his thoughts upon those things which may inflame it. Or,

2. In others by reproaches, injuries, or any other provocations.

Bringeth forth strife is the cause of many quarrels, and much mischief among men.

Haydock: Pro 30:33 - -- And. Hebrew, "For he who presseth milk." (Calmet) --- Protestants, "Surely the churning of milk bringeth for butter," &c. (Haydock) --- Strife. ...

And. Hebrew, "For he who presseth milk." (Calmet) ---

Protestants, "Surely the churning of milk bringeth for butter," &c. (Haydock) ---

Strife. Moderation is necessary, (Calmet) in all actions. (Worthington)

Gill: Pro 30:33 - -- Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter,.... Or the pressing of it. This is a thing well known and certain, that of milk, when pressed out o...

Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter,.... Or the pressing of it. This is a thing well known and certain, that of milk, when pressed out of the udder, and put into a churn, and there is shook together, by a constant violent agitation or motion, called churning, butter is produced; and cheese is sometimes called pressed milk y, and is pressed with the runnet, and by the hand also z;

and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: a too violent compression of it, or forcible blowing of it, in order to purge it from any impurity in it; instead of doing which it may break the tender skin, and bring forth blood, which may be of bad consequence;

so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife; irritating the passions of men, and provoking them by scurrilous and reproachful words to wrath and anger, produce contentions, feuds, and lawsuits, which are not soon and easily ended; and therefore such a conduct should be carefully avoided. The same word is used in the three clauses, and signifies pressing, squeezing, forcing.
