The king ought to be feared as the roaring1 of a Lion. Who so provoketh him unto anger, offendeth against his own soul. My son fear thou the Lord and the king, and keep no company with them that slide back from his fear. For their destruction shall come suddenly. And who knoweth the adversity that may come from them both.
