251 These are more wise sayings of Solomon, copied out by the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah.
2 It is the glory of God to keep a thing secret: but the glory of kings is to have it searched out. 3 The heaven is high and the earth is deep, and the hearts of kings may not be searched out.

Commentary on Proverbs 25:1-3
(Read Proverbs 25:1-3)
God needs not search into any thing; nothing can be hid from him. But it is the honour of rulers to search out matters, to bring to light hidden works of darkness.
