1. These are also proverbs of Solomon, copied by the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah:
2. It is the glory of God to hide somethingand the glory of kings to discover something.
3. Like the high heavens and the depths of the earth,so the mind of a king is unsearchable.
4. Remove the dross from the silver,and a vessel will come out for the refiner.
5. Remove the wicked from the king’s presence,and his throne will be established in righteousness.
6. Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king,or stand in the place of important people,
7. because it is better that he say to you,"Come up here,"than to be demoted before a ruler.What your eyes see,
