And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine (and went) into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; But his favor is as dew upon the grass.
The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion: He that provoketh him to anger sinneth (against) his own life.
By long forbearing is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
