2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
2 The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion.
He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
2 The fear of a king 'is' a growl as of a young lion, He who is causing him to be wroth is wronging his soul.
