Who can strip off his outer garment? Who would come near him with a bridle?
If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well.
Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.
Because you have raged against me and your complacency has come into my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and I will turn you back on the way by which you came.
