Proverbs 25:2-7
Legacy Standard Bible
2 It is the glory of God to (A)conceal a matter,
But the glory of (B)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 Take away the (C)dross from the silver,
And there comes out a vessel for the (D)smith;
5 Take away the (E)wicked before the king,
And his (F)throne will be established in righteousness.
6 Do not promote your majesty in the presence of the king,
And in the place of great men do not stand;
7 For (G)it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,”
Than for you to be placed lower in the presence of a noble,
Whom your eyes have seen.
Proverbs 25:15
Legacy Standard Bible
15 (A)When one is slow to anger, a ruler may be persuaded,
And a soft tongue breaks the bone.
