Proverbs 25:2-7

2It is the glory of 1God to conceal a thing; but the glory of kings is to search out a thing.

3The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.

4Take away the dross from the silver, and there cometh forth a vessel for the refiner:

5take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

6Put not thyself forward in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of the great;

7for better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither, than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes see.
