1 Also these the proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed. 2 The glory of God to conceal the word: and the glory of kings to search the word. 3 The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings not searched out. 4 Take ye away the dross from the silver, and a vessel shall come forth for the goldsmith. 5 Take ye away the unjust one from before the king, and his throne shall be prepared in justice. 6 Thou shalt not show thyself proud before the king, and thou shalt not stand in the place of the great. 7 For good to say to thee, Come up hither, rather than humbling thyself before the noble whom thine eye saw. Proverbs 25:1-7, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
