Proverbs - 19:12 Meaning
“The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
19:11-13 He attains the most true glory who endeavours most steadily to overcome evil with good. 12. Christ is a King, whose wrath against his enemies will be as the roaring of a lion, and his favour to his people as the refreshing dew. 13. It shows the vanity of the world, that we are liable to the greatest griefs where we promise ourselves the greatest comfort.
“Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?”
