שָׁמַיִם לָרוּם וָאָרֶץ לָעֹמֶק וְלֵב מְלָכִים אֵין חֵֽקֶר
The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
הָגוֹ סִיגִים מִכָּסֶף וַיֵּצֵא לַצֹּרֵף כֶּֽלִי
Take away the dross from the silver, and there cometh forth a vessel for the refiner;
הָגוֹ רָשָׁע לִפְנֵי־מֶלֶךְ וְיִכּוֹן בַּצֶּדֶק כִּסְאֽוֹ
Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
אַל־תִּתְהַדַּר לִפְנֵי־מֶלֶךְ וּבִמְקוֹם גְּדֹלִים אַֽל־תַּעֲמֹֽד
Glorify not thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men;
כִּי טוֹב אֲמָר־לְךָ עֲֽלֵה הֵנָּה מֵֽהַשְׁפִּילְךָ לִפְנֵי נָדִיב אֲשֶׁר רָאוּ עֵינֶֽיךָ
For better is it that it be said unto thee: ‘Come up hither’, than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom thine eyes have seen.
