Explanation preview
These verses are part of a collection of Solomon's proverbs copied by the men of King Hezekiah of Judah, and they offer wisdom about how a king's court should work. Verse 5 pictures a king's advisors and officials as silver being refined: just as removing dross from silver lets a silversmith make a useful vessel, removing wicked people from the king's presence lets his rule be established in righteousness.
