² The king’s fury is like a lion’s roar;
    to rouse his anger is to risk your life.

⁸ When a king sits in judgment, he weighs all the evidence,
    distinguishing the bad from the good.

²⁶ A wise king scatters the wicked like wheat,
    then runs his threshing wheel over them.

²⁸ Unfailing love and faithfulness protect the king;
    his throne is made secure through love.
