Proverbs 25:4 Context
2It is the glory of God to conceale a thing: but the honour of Kings is to search out a matter. 3The heauen for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of Kings is vnsearchable. 4Take away the drosse from the siluer, and there shall come foorth a vessell for the finer. 5Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shalbe established in righteousnes. 6Put not forth thy selfe in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men.
