Proverbs 25:3 Context
1These are also Prouerbes of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Iudah copied out. 2It is the glory of God to conceale a thing: but the honour of Kings is to search out a matter. 3The heauen for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of Kings is vnsearchable. 4Take away the drosse from the siluer, and there shall come foorth a vessell for the finer. 5Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shalbe established in righteousnes.
