Mishle 20:2

2 The wrath of a melech is as the roaring of a lion; he who provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own nefesh.

Mishle 20:2 In-Context

1 0 The yayin is a mocker, strong drink a brawler; and whosoever is seduced to be led astray thereby is not wise.
2 The wrath of a melech is as the roaring of a lion; he who provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own nefesh.
3 It is kavod for an ish to cease from strife, but any fool can start a quarrel.
4 The atzel (sluggard, lazy one) will not plow by reason of choref (winter, cold); therefore shall he beg at katzir (harvest), and have nothing.
5 Etzah (purpose; see Yn 2:24-25 ) in the lev ish is like deep mayim, but an ish tevunah will draw it out.
