Proverbs 19:12
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
In context
10 Luxury is unseemly for a fool— how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!
11 A man’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.
12 A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13 A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.
14 Houses and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
