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.
6Be not boastful in the presence of the king, And remain not in the places of princes;
7For it is better for thee that it should be said, Come up to me, Than that one should humble thee in the presence of the prince; Speak of that which thine eyes have seen.
8Get not suddenly into a quarrel, Lest thou repent at last.
Proverbs 25
