Daniel 2:12

¹³Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought. Then these men were brought before the king.

¹⁰Surely the wrath of man praises you. The survivors of your wrath are restrained.

¹⁹Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the form of his appearance was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.

¹⁶Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.

³A stone is heavy, and sand is a burden; but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both. ⁴Wrath is cruel, and anger is overwhelming; but who is able to stand before jealousy?

⁵The king answered the Chaldeans, “The thing has gone from me. If you don’t make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you will be cut in pieces, and your houses will be made a dunghill.

²For resentment kills the foolish man, and jealousy kills the simple.

¹⁴The king’s wrath is a messenger of death, but a wise man will pacify it.

¹²The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

²The terror of a king is like the roaring of a lion. He who provokes him to anger forfeits his own life.
