1These are the miscellaneous instructions of Solomon, which the friends of Hezekiah king of Judea copied out.
2The glory of God conceals a matter: But the glory of a king honors business.
3Heaven is high, and earth is deep, And a king’s heart is unsearchable.
4Beat the drossy silver, And it shall be made entirely pure.
5Slay the ungodly from before the king, And his throne shall prosper in righteousness.
