A wise person will try to keep the king happy; if the king becomes angry, someone may die.

The king's favor is like the clouds that bring rain in the springtime---life is there.

The king's anger is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like welcome rain.

If your ruler becomes angry with you, do not hand in your resignation; serious wrongs may be pardoned if you keep calm.

"My people will follow me when I roar like a lion at their enemies. They will hurry to me from the west.

When a lion roars, who can keep from being afraid? When the Sovereign LORD speaks, who can keep from proclaiming his message?

Those who do not find me hurt themselves; anyone who hates me loves death."

Then Solomon made a solemn promise in the LORD's name, "May God strike me dead if I don't make Adonijah pay with his life for asking this!
