1 These are also proverbs of Solomon, copied by the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah:
2 It is the glory of God to hide somethingand the glory of kings to discover something.
3 Like the high heavens and the depths of the earth,so the mind of a king is unsearchable.
4 Remove the dross from the silver,and a vessel will come out for the refiner.
5 Remove the wicked from the king’s presence,and his throne will be established in righteousness.
6 Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king,or stand in the place of important people,
