Pro 30:32 | MHM | STEP | v. 32 : This verse warns us to stay humble and control our anger, especially when we have made a mistake or have been prideful. If you have lifted up yourself in pride or argued with someone in authority and realize you have done wrong, you should be silent and humble, not trying to justify yourself. If you have even thought evil, lay your hand upon your mouth —keep silent and confess your fault to God, like Job did when he said, I will lay my hand upon my mouth (Job 40:4 ). This is the best way to make peace and show true repentance.
