Proverbs 25:1-5 ▼

1 These also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied:

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 dross from silver, And it will go to the silversmith for jewelry.

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