Proverbi 20:2

Listen to Proverbi 20:2
2 Il terrore del re è come il ruggito del leoncello; Chi lo provoca ad indegnazione pecca contro a sè stesso.

Proverbi 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 ) .

Proverbi 20:2 In-Context

1 Il vino è schernitore, e la cervogia è tumultuante; E chiunque ne è vago non è savio.
2 Il terrore del re è come il ruggito del leoncello; Chi lo provoca ad indegnazione pecca contro a sè stesso.
3 Egli è gloria all’uomo di rimanersi di contesa; Ma chiunque è stolto si fa schernire.
4 Il pigro non ara per cagion del freddo; E poi nella ricolta va accattando, e non trova nulla.
5 Il consiglio nel cuor dell’uomo è un’acqua profonda; E l’uomo intendente l’attignerà.
