Proverbs 25:1-6

1 These also are proverbs of Shlomo; the men of Hizkiyah king of Y'hudah copied them out:
2 God gets glory from concealing things; kings get glory from investigating things.
3 Like the sky for height or the earth for depth is the heart of kings - unfathomable.
4 Remove the impurities from the silver, and the smith has material to make a vessel.
5 Remove the wicked from the king's presence, and his throne will rest firmly on righteousness.
6 Don't put yourself forward in the king's presence; don't take a place among the great.
