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.
