Proverbs 25:2-7

2It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, and it is the glory of a king to search out a matter.

3As the heaven is high and the earth is deep so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.

4Remove the dross from the silver, and material for the silversmith will emerge;

5remove the wicked from before the king, and his throne will be established in righteousness.

6Do not honor yourself before the king, and do not stand in the place of great men;

7for it is better for him to say to you, “Come up here,” than to put you lower before a prince, whom your eyes have seen.
