Proverbs 25:3-5

³ No one can ·measure [examine] the height of the skies or the depth of the earth.
So also no one can ·understand [examine] the ·mind [^Lheart] of a king.

⁴ ·Remove [Separate] the ·scum [dross] from the silver,
    so ·the silver can be used by the silversmith [^La vessel will come out for refining].
⁵ ·Remove [Separate] wicked people from the king’s presence;
    then his ·government [^Lthrone] will be ·honest and last a long time [^Lestablished in righteousness].
