Proverbs 25:2
1 These are additional proverbs of Solomon, which were copied by the men of Hezekiah king of Judah:
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter and the glory of kings to search it out.
3 As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings cannot be searched.
4 Remove the dross from the silver, and a vessel for a silversmith will come forth.
