Proverbs 30:31

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

the strutting cock, the he-goat, and a king striding before his people.

See the chapter Copy

A king's wrath is a messenger of death, and a wise man will appease it.

The dread wrath of a king is like the growling of a lion; he who provokes him to anger forfeits his life.

the lion, which is mightiest among beasts and does not turn back before any;

If you have been foolish, exalting yourself, or if you have been devising evil, put your hand on your mouth.
