The Principle of Pressure
Commentators highlight that the original Hebrew uses the same word for “churning,” “wringing,” and “forcing.” The proverb builds a powerful analogy: just as applying pressure to milk (churning) and a nose (wringing) produces a predictable result, so does applying pressure to anger. It’s a spiritual law of cause and effect.
