It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.

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

Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:

The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it.

The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.

The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;

The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.

The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.

Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.

It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.

And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.

Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.

Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.

Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?

There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:

Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!

Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
