Proverbs 25:2-8

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 you that it should be said, Come up to me, than that one should humble you in the presence of the prince; speak of that which your eyes have seen.

⁸Get not suddenly into a quarrel, lest you repent at last.
