2  ⁱThe terror of a king is like the growling of a lion;

whoever provokes him to anger forfeits his life.

14  A king’s wrath is a messenger of death,

and a wise man will appease it.

15  In the ^wlight of a king’s face there is life,

and his favor is like the clouds that bring the spring rain.

15  Like a roaring lion or a charging bear

is a wicked ruler over a poor people.
