Proverbs 17:12

King James Version (KJV)
Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

Let a bear robbed of her whelps - At which times such animals are peculiarly fierce. See the note on 2 Samuel 17:8.

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

The large brown bear of Syria, in her rage at the loss of her whelps, was to the Israelites the strongest type of brute ferocity. Compare 2 Samuel 17:8; 2 Kings 2:24.
