Proverbs 25:2-4
Amplified Bible
2
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.(A)
3
As the heavens for height and the earth for depth,
So the hearts and minds of kings are [a]unsearchable.
4
Take away the dross from the silver,
And there comes out [the pure metal for] a vessel for the silversmith [to shape].(B)
