Proverbs 25:2-4

Holman Christian Standard Bible

² It is the glory of God to conceal a matter^(A)
and the glory of kings to investigate a matter.
³ As the heaven is high and the earth is deep,
so the hearts of kings cannot be investigated.

⁴ Remove impurities from silver,^(B)
and a vessel will be produced^[a] for a silversmith.^(C)
