The wrath of a king is as messengers of death, but a wise man will appease it.

In the light of the king's face is life, and his favor is like a cloud of the latter rain.

The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion; whoever stirs him up to anger sins against his own soul.

Like a roaring lion and a ranging bear, so is a wicked ruler over the lowly people.

When the king returned from the palace garden to the place of the banquet of wine, Haman had fallen on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, Will he also violate the queen while I am in the house? As the word left the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

because in the word of a king is power; and who may say to him, What are you doing?

Because of all this the king was enraged and angered. And he commanded all the wise men of Babylon to be destroyed.

And the law went out that the wise men should be killed. And they searched for Daniel and his companions, to be killed.

Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with wrath, and the form of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He spoke and commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usual to heat it.

Then these men were tied up in their coats, their tunics, and their turbans, and their other clothes, and were thrown into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.

And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the middle of the burning fiery furnace.

And for the majesty that He gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. He killed whom he desired, and whom he desired he kept alive. And whom he would, he set up; and whom he desired, he put down.

And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel. And they threw them into the den of lions, them, their sons and their wives. And the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones before they ever reached the bottom of the den.

And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into Gehenna; yes, I say to you, Fear Him!

And he shall be like the light of the morning when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, like the tender grass springing out of the earth, by clear shining after rain.

He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass, like showers that water the earth.

I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall blossom as the lily and thrust forth his roots like Lebanon.
