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 Ecclesiastes 8:2,4. See Trapp on " Pro 16:14 " See Trapp on " Pro 16:15 "
