1. These also are proverbs of Solomon,which the men of King Hezekiah of Judah copied:
2. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,and it is the glory of a king to search out a matter.
3. As the heaven is high and the earth is deepso the hearts of kings are unsearchable.
4. Remove the dross from the silver,and material for the silversmith will emerge;
5. remove the wicked from before the king,and his throne will be established in righteousness.
