2 It 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.
4 Take away the dross from silver, And it will go to the silversmith for jewelry.
5 Take away the wicked from before the king, And his throne will be established in righteousness.
May all who seek His righteousness be blessed.
Amen.
Only one King of Kings that matters.
True.
Does he not also ask us to be His hands and feet?
Would not one of those ways be by overseeing the lands of His kingdom, as a stewarding “king” among men?
