Proverbios 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 ) .

Proverbios 20:2 In-Context

1 El vino produce burlones; la bebida alcohólica lleva a la pelea.
Los que se dejan llevar por la bebida, no pueden ser sabios.
2 La furia del rey es como el rugido del león;
quien provoca su enojo, pone en peligro su vida.
3 Evitar la pelea es una señal de honor;
solo los necios insisten en pelear.
4 Los que por pereza no aran en la temporada correspondiente
no tendrán alimento en la cosecha.
5 Aunque el buen consejo esté en lo profundo del corazón,
la persona con entendimiento lo extraerá.
