Thematic Bible: Of a ruler's anger


Thematic Bible

Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones.

The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.

For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
