Proverbs 25:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ No one can measure the height of the skies or the depth of the earth.
    So also no one can understand the mind of a king.

⁴ Remove the scum from the silver.
    Then the silver can be used by the silversmith.
⁵ Remove wicked people from the king’s presence.
    Then his government will be honest and last a long time.
