Proverbs 30:33

33But whoever strongly squeezes the udder to bring out the milk, presses out butter. And whoever violently blows his nose, brings out blood. And whoever provokes wrath, brings forth discord.”
30:33Now pressing out milk strongly does not literally produce butter; but this is a type of figure of speech where the literal meaning is not true and is not what is being asserted as true. It is the figurative meaning that is being asserted as true.(Conte)
