The king's terrifying anger is like the roar of a lion; whoever provokes him sins against himself.

But the one who does not find me brings harm to himself; all who hate me love death."

A king's wrath is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

King Solomon then swore an oath by the Lord, "May God judge me severely, if Adonijah does not pay for this request with his life!

As for the censers of these men who sinned at the cost of their lives, they must be made into hammered sheets for covering the altar, because they presented them before the Lord and sanctified them. They will become a sign to the Israelites."

A king's wrath is like a messenger of death, but a wise person appeases it.

If the anger of the ruler flares up against you, do not resign from your position, for a calm response can undo great offenses.

He will roar like a lion, and they will follow the Lord; when he roars, his children will come trembling from the west.

A lion has roared! Who is not afraid? The sovereign Lord has spoken! Who can refuse to prophesy?

Your schemes will bring shame to your house. Because you destroyed many nations, you will self-destruct.
