3 The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, And the heart of kings -- 'are' unsearchable.
4 Take away dross from silver, And a vessel for the refiner goeth forth,
5 Take away the wicked before a king, And established in righteousness is his throne.
6 Honour not thyself before a king, And in the place of the great stand not.
7 For better 'that' he hath said to thee, 'Come thou up hither,' Than 'that' he humble thee before a noble, Whom thine eyes have seen.
