1 These also are proverbs of Solomon. The servants of Hezekiah, king of Judah, transmitted them.
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,and the glory of kings to fathom a matter.
3 Like the heavens in height, and the earth in depth,the heart of kings is unfathomable.
4 Remove the dross from silver,and it comes forth perfectly purified;
5 Remove the wicked from the presence of the king,and his throne is made firm through justice.
