This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_19:12 The king’s wrath [is] as the roaring of a lion; but his favour [is] as dew upon the grass.
Ver. 12. The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion.] Heb., Of a young lion, which, being in his prime, roars more terribly; sets up his roar with such a force that he amazeth the other creatures whom he hunteth, so that, though far swifter of foot than the lion, they have no power to fly from him. {a} Kings have long hands, strong clutches. Good therefore is the wise man’s counsel in Ecc_8:2-4. {See Trapp on "Pro_16:14"} {See Trapp on "Pro_16:15"}
{a} Ambros., Hexs., lib. vi. cap. 5.
