Proverbs 25:2-7
2It is the gloryH3519 of GodH430 to 1concealH5641 a matterH1697, But the gloryH3519 of 2kingsH4428 is to searchH2713 out a matterH1697.3As the heavensH8064 for heightH7312 and the earthH776 for depthH6011, So the heartH3820 of kingsH4428 is unsearchableH369H2714.4TakeH1898 awayH1898 the 3drossH5509 from the silverH3701, And there comesH3318 out a vesselH3627 for the 4smithH6884;5TakeH1898 awayH1898 the 5wickedH7563 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, And his 6throneH3678 will be establishedH3559 in righteousnessH6664.6Do not claimH1921 honorH1921 in the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428, And do not standH5975 in the placeH4725 of greatH1419 menH1419;7For 7it is betterH2896 that it be saidH559 to you, “ComeH5927 up hereH2008,” ThanH4480 for you to be placedH8213 lowerH8213 in the presenceH6440 of the princeH5081, WhomH834 your eyesH5869 have seenH7200.
