Proverbs 25:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 Like the heavens in height, and the earth in depth,
the heart of kings is unfathomable.
4 [a]Remove the dross from silver,
and it comes forth perfectly purified;
5 Remove the wicked from the presence of the king,
and his throne is made firm through justice.
