² A king’s anger is like a lion’s roar;
    anyone who angers him forfeits his life.

⁸ A king sits on a throne of justice,
    sifting out all sorts of evil with his glance.

²⁶ A wise king sifts the wicked,
    crushing them with the threshing wheel.

²⁸ Gracious love and truth preserve a king;
    through love his throne is made secure.
