Observations about kings,1 ¶ These² [are] also² proverbsº of Solomon,º which² the men¹² of Hezekiahº kingº of Judahº copied out.ºª 2 [It is] the gloryº of Godº to concealºª a thing:º but the honourº of kingsº [is] to search outºª a matter.º 3 The heavenº for height,º and the earthº for depth,º and the heartº of kingsº [is] unsearchable.º² 4 Take awayºª the drossº from the silver,º² and there shall come forthºª a vesselº for the finer.ºª 5 Take awayºª the wickedº [from] beforeº the king,º and his throneº shall be establishedºª in righteousness.º 6 Put not forth¹ª thyself²² in the presenceº of the king,º and standºª not² in the placeº of greatº [men]: 7 For² betterº [it is] that it be saidºª unto thee, Come upºª hither;² than that thou shouldest be put lowerºª² in the presenceº of the princeº whom² thine eyesº have seen.ºª [1] 1K 4:32; Pv 1:1; 10:1; Ec 12:9; Is 1:1; 36:22; 37:2; Ho 1:1; Mi 1:1.
