Further Wise Sayings of Solomon

1 These^a also are proverbs of Solomon which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied:

2 ^aIt is the glory of God to conceal a matter,
But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

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

4 ^aTake away the dross from silver,
And it will go to the silversmith for jewelry.

5 Take away the wicked from before the king,
And his throne will be established in ^arighteousness.

Proverbs 25:3

The heaven for height - The simple meaning of this is, the reasons of state, in reference to many acts of the executive government, can no more be fathomed by the common people, than the height of the heavens and the depth of the earth.
