King James Bible - Proverbs 19:12

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

World English Bible

The king's wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.

Webster's Bible Translation

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

SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:12

¶ Como el bramido del cachorro de león es la ira del rey; y su favor como el rocío sobre la hierba.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 19:12

Verse 12. The king's
wrath is as the roaring of a lion ] There is nothing more dreadful than the roaring of this tyrant of the forest. At the sound of it all other animals tremble, flee away, and hide themselves. The king who is above law, and rules without law, and whose will is his own law, is like the lion. This is strongly descriptive of the character of Asiatic sovereigns.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 12. The king’s
wrath [is] as the roaring of a lion , etc.] Which is very terrible when hungry, and is after its prey, and has got it. Kings, especially tyrannical ones, are compared to lions; as Nebuchadnezzar by Jeremiah, ( Jeremiah 4:17 50:17); and Nero by the Apostle Paul, ( 2 Timothy 4:7); and the rage of such is very dreadful, as Ahasuerus’s was to Haman.

Jarchi interprets the king, of the holy blessed God. It may be applied to Jesus Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah; who is said to cry with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth; and whose wrath is terrible to wicked men, and even to the kings of the earth, ( Revelation 5:5 10:3 6:15-17); but his favour [is] as dew upon the grass ; which refreshes and revives it, and causes it to grow and flourish: and so the favour and good will of a king to his subjects delights them, and causes joy and cheerfulness in them; and such an effect has the love of God and Christ on the children of men, ( Hosea 14:6).


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 12 - Christ is a King, whose wrath against his enemies will be as the roaring of a lion, and his favour to his people as the refreshing dew.
