2 The dread anger of a king is like the growling of a lion; anyone who provokes him to anger forfeits life itself.(A)
8 A king who sits on the throne of judgment winnows all evil with his eyes.
26 A wise king winnows the wicked and drives the wheel over them.
28 Loyalty and faithfulness preserve the king, and his throne is upheld by righteousness.[a](A)
