Footnotes
- 37 The verse contrasts the “rage” of the king with his “favor” by using two similes. The first simile presents the king at his most dangerous—his anger (e.g., 20:2; Amos 3:4). The second simile presents his favor as beneficial for life (e.g., 16:14–15; 28:15).
- 38 Heb “is a roaring like a lion.”
- 39 The proverb makes an observation about a king’s power to terrify or to refresh. It advises people to use tact with a king.
