Proverbs 25:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 Like the heavens in height and the earth in depth,
the heart of a king is unfathomable.[a]
4 If you remove the dross from silver,
it emerges completely purified.
5 If you remove the wicked from the king’s presence,
his throne will be founded on righteousness.
Footnotes
- Proverbs 25:3 The heart of a king is unfathomable: i.e., it cannot be understood—like the four things in Prov 30:18-19—yet God has control over a king’s heart (see Prov 21:1).
