2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter , But the glory of kings is to search out a matter .

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 25:2

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.
