Commentary on Proverbs 25:2
God's glory is to 'conceal a thing,' but kings' honor is to 'search out a matter.' The Hebrew 'satar' (conceal) and 'chaqar' (search/investigate) create a dynamic: God reveals truth progressively, requiring human seeking. This reflects revelation's nature—God discloses Himself, but understanding requires diligent study. Reformed theology values both God's revelatory initiative and our responsibility to study Scripture carefully. 'It is the glory of God to conceal a thing' emphasizes divine transcendence and the vastness of His wisdom awaiting discovery.
