“The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. is: Heb. there is no searching”
Proverbs 25:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 25:3
Heaven's height, earth's depth, and 'the heart of kings are unsearchable.' The Hebrew 'ein cheqer' (unsearchable/without investigation) applies natural mysteries to human complexity, especially rulers' hearts. This counsels humility—we cannot fully know others' motives or thoughts, particularly those in power. Reformed theology affirms God alone searches hearts (Jeremiah 17:10). This verse warns against presuming to judge others' hearts and counsels caution in dealing with authority. Only God knows the heart; we see only external actions.
