“The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.”
Proverbs 19:12 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 19:12
The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion, but his favor is as dew upon the grass. Royal anger terrifies like a lion's roar; royal favor refreshes like morning dew. The contrasting metaphors emphasize monarchy's power to harm or bless. This wisdom guided ancient courtiers' conduct - avoiding wrath, seeking favor. Applied to divine King, the principle teaches fearing God's judgment while seeking His grace. Christ's kingship makes His favor life-giving and His wrath fearsome.
