Psalms 32:9

Do not be like a horse or a mule
without insight,
which must be adorned with bridle and bit to be controlled
if it is to come to you (literally: otherwise it will not come near you).
[The phrase "which must be adorned with" consists of the Hebrew noun adi, which in addition to "headgear" and "mouth" also has the meaning "adornment." The meaning is probably – in an almost ironic tone – that the horse's "adornment" is the bridle and bit. This noun is similar to the word for gallop, and can therefore also remind us that the animal's movement and temperament must be controlled.]
