growling, roar; the threatening sound made by a lion
This masculine noun captures the menacing growl of a lion, used in Proverbs as a metaphor for royal anger. Both occurrences compare a king's wrath to a lion's roar—the terrifying sound that precedes attack. The imagery would have been vivid to ancient audiences familiar with lions in the region. Just as a lion's growl warns of mortal danger, so a king's displayed anger threatens those who provoke him. The sound itself becomes a symbol of lethal power.
