Proverbs [Sayings] 25:1-5

¹These also are proverbs of Solomon Peaceable, Recompense, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah Praised copied out.

²It is the kavod ·weighty glory· of God to conceal a thing, but the kavod ·weighty glory· of kings is to search out a matter.

³As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.

⁴Take away the dross from the silver, and material comes out for the refiner;

⁵Take away the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established in righteousness.
