Proverbs 25:1-5 ▼

1 These also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah, transcribed.

2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

3 As the heavens for height and the earth for depth, So the heart of kings is unsearchable.

4 Take away the impurities from the silver, And there comes out a vessel for the smith;

5 Take away the wicked before the king, And his throne will be established in righteousness.
