| 1 | THESE are also profound proverbs of Solomon which the friends of Hezekiah king of Judah wrote. | These also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied. | These are more proverbs of Solomon, compiled by the men of Hezekiah king of Judah: | |
| 2 | It is the glory of God to keep secret a matter; but the glory of the king is to search it out. | 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 | The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of the king is unsearchable. | 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 dross from silver that it may come forth a pure vessel. | 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; | |
| 5 | Let wicked men be driven from the presence of the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness. | take away the wicked from the presence of the king, and his throne will be established in righteousness. | remove wicked officials from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established through righteousness. | |
