The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: But a wise man will pacify it.
The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion: He that provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own life.
The lion, which is mightiest among beasts, And turneth not away for any;
If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, Or if thou hast thought evil, Lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
