1. Also these are Proverbs of Solomon, that men of Hezekiah king of Judah transcribed: --
2. The honour of God [is] to hide a thing, And the honour of kings to search out a matter.
3. The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, And the heart of kings--[are] unsearchable.
4. Take away dross from silver, And a vessel for the refiner goeth forth,
5. Take away the wicked before a king, And established in righteousness is his throne.
