| 2 | It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, and the glory of kings to investigate a matter. | It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out. | It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. | |
| 3 | Just as the heavens are high and earth is deep, so the heart of a king is unfathomable. | As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth, so the heart of kings is unsearchable. | As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable. | |
| 4 | Purge the dross from the silver, and material for a vessel comes forth for the silversmith. | Take away the dross from the silver, and the smith has material for a vessel; | Remove the dross from the silver, and a silversmith can produce a vessel; | |
