Proverbs 25:3 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The heaven for height, and the earth for depth; as no man upon earth can exactly discover the height of heaven, or the depth of earth, or discern what is contained in them. The heart of kings is unsearchable; though wise kings will search out other men and things, yet their inward thoughts and purposes are hardly discoverable, partly because every man's heart lies out of the sight of others, and partly because it is the practice of kings industriously to conceal their intentions.

Proverbs 25:3

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