Put Your Hand Over Your Mouth
기원전 10~6세기 편집 (히브리 지혜문학)
ORIGINAL
אִם־נָבַלְתָּ בְהִתְנַשֵּׂא וְאִם־זַמּוֹתָ יָד לְפֶה
📜 THE VERSE
If you have been foolish in exalting yourself, or if you have plotted, put your hand over your mouth.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Must I really say this now, or should I put my hand over my mouth?
📝Reflection
The gesture of this verse — put your hand over your mouth — stays with me. In a puffed-up moment, in a moment of ill thought, words most want to leap out. Yet that is exactly the moment to cover the mouth. As churning milk makes butter, churning anger makes strife. Not saying everything you want is not repression but restraint. Sometimes saying nothing at all is the wisest word of all.

When pride or anger makes words want to leap out today, actually shut your mouth a moment as a signal.
