2 Como o bramido do leão é o terror do rei; quem o provoca a ira peca contra a sua própria vida.

Provérbios 20:2 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 20:2

The fear of a king [is] as the roaring of a lion
The wrath and displeasure of a king, which causes fear; see ( Proverbs 19:12 ) ; kings should be terrors to evil works and workers, though not to good ones, ( Romans 13:3 ) . This is true of the King of kings, who one day will be terrible to the drunkards, the mockers, and murderers of his people, before spoken of; [whoso] provoketh him to anger sinneth [against] his own soul;
he exposes his life to danger: the Targum supplies it as we do. It may be rendered, his "soul sinneth" F1; he is guilty of sin, as well as is in danger of punishment; see ( Proverbs 8:36 ) .

Provérbios 20:2 In-Context

1 O vinho é escarnecedor, e a bebida forte alvoroçadora; e todo aquele que neles errar não e sábio.
2 Como o bramido do leão é o terror do rei; quem o provoca a ira peca contra a sua própria vida.
3 Honroso é para o homem o desviar-se de questões; mas todo insensato se entremete nelas.
4 O preguiçoso não lavra no outono; pelo que mendigará na sega, e nada receberá.
5 Como águas profundas é o propósito no coração do homem; mas o homem inteligente o descobrirá.
