Proverbs 25:1-5 NIV

[1] These are more proverbs of Solomon, compiled by the men of Hezekiah king of Judah: [2] It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. [3] As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable. [4] Remove the dross from the silver, and a silversmith can produce a vessel; [5] remove wicked officials from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established through righteousness.
