Proverbs 25:3 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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

The heaven for height ... and the heart of kings is unsearchable. As the height of heaven, and the depth of the earth, so the heart of kings is unsearchable. Whereas the king's honour is to search out many things; his own heart, or deeper counsels of state, cannot be searched out by his subjects. The governed must not 'speak evil of the things that they understand not' (2 Peter 2:10; 2 Peter 2:12; Jude 1:8; Jude 1:10).
