Proverbs 25:2-6
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 25

2It 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. 4Take away the impurities from the silver, And there comes out a vessel for the smith; 5Take away the wicked before the king, And his throne will be established in righteousness. 6Do not boast in the presence of the king, And do not stand in the same place as great people;
King James Version

5Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

5Remove the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established in righteousness. 6Don’t boast about yourself before the king, and don’t stand in the place of the great;

3No one can comprehend the height of heaven, the depth of the earth, or all that goes on in the king’s mind!
4Remove the impurities from silver, and the sterling will be ready for the silversmith. 5Remove the wicked from the king’s court, and his reign will be made secure by justice.
6Don’t demand an audience with the king or push for a place among the great.
English Standard Version
