In biblical times, the heavens were often seen as the domain of God, representing His majesty and omnipotence (<a href="/psalms/19.htm">Psalm 19:1</a>). The earth's depth signifies the unknown and the mysterious, often associated with Sheol or the grave (<a href="/job/11-8.htm">Job 11:8</a>). This imagery emphasizes the infinite nature of God's creation, which is beyond human understanding, much like the wisdom and plans of God Himself (<a href="/isaiah/55-9.htm">Isaiah 55:9</a>).<p><b>so the hearts of kings cannot be searched</b><br>In ancient Israel and surrounding cultures, kings were seen as divinely appointed rulers whose decisions and thoughts were often inscrutable to their subjects. The heart, in biblical terms, represents the center of thought, will, and emotion (<a href="/proverbs/4-23.htm">Proverbs 4:23</a>). This phrase suggests that just as the heavens and earth are beyond full human understanding, so too are the intentions and plans of a king. This reflects the belief that God grants wisdom to rulers (<a href="/proverbs/21.htm">Proverbs 21:1</a>), and their decisions are part of His sovereign plan. The inscrutability of a king's heart can also be seen as a type of Christ, the King of Kings, whose divine wisdom and plans are beyond human comprehension (<a href="/romans/11-33.htm">Romans 11:33-34</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/heavens.htm">Heavens</a></b><br>Represents the vastness and the unreachable heights, often symbolizing God's domain and the mysteries of His creation.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/e/earth.htm">Earth</a></b><br>Symbolizes depth and the hidden aspects of creation, often associated with the unknown and the foundation of life.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/k/kings.htm">Kings</a></b><br>In the context of Proverbs, kings represent authority, leadership, and governance.

(Comp. <a href="/context/proverbs/23-1.htm" title="When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you:">Proverbs 23:1-2</a>.)<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/proverbs/25.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 3.</span> - This proverb is connected with the preceding by the idea of "searching" (<span class="accented">chakar</span>) common to both. Such emblematic proverbs are common in this second collection (see Ver. 11). Three subjects are stated, of which is predicated the term unsearchable, viz. <span class="cmt_word">The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings.</span> As you can never rise to the illimitable height of the heavens, as you can never penetrate to the immeasurable depth of the earth, so you can never fathom the heart of a king, can never find out what he really thinks and intends (comp. <a href="/job/11-8.htm">Job 11:8</a>). It may be that tacitly a warning is intended against flattering one's sell that one knows and can reckon on the favour of a king; his good disposition towards you may be only seeming, or may any moment become changed. The Septuagint has for "unsearchable" (<span class="hebrew">חֵקֶר אֵין</span>) <span class="greek">ἀνεξέλεγκτος</span>, "unquestionable." The commentators refer to a passage in Tacitus ('Ann.' 6:8), where M. Terentius defends himself for being a friend of Sejanus by the fact of the impossibility of investigating a great man's real sentiments. "To us," he says to Tiberius, "it appertains not to judge whom you exalt above all others and for what reason you do so. Facts which are obvious we all notice. We see who is the man upon whom you heap wealth and honours, who it is that has the chief power of dispensing rewards and punishments; that these were possessed by Sejanus no one can deny. But to pry into the hidden thoughts of a prince, and the designs which he meditates in secret, is unlawful and hazardous; nor would the attempt succeed." <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/proverbs/25-3.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">As the heavens</span><br /><span class="heb">שָׁמַ֣יִם</span> <span class="translit">(šā·ma·yim)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8064.htm">Strong's 8064: </a> </span><span class="str2">Heaven, sky</span><br /><br /><span class="word">are high</span><br /><span class="heb">לָ֭רוּם</span> <span class="translit">(lā·rūm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7312.htm">Strong's 7312: </a> </span><span class="str2">Height, haughtiness</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and the earth</span><br /><span class="heb">וָאָ֣רֶץ</span> <span class="translit">(wā·’ā·reṣ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_776.htm">Strong's 776: </a> </span><span class="str2">Earth, land</span><br /><br /><span class="word">is deep,</span><br /><span class="heb">לָעֹ֑מֶק</span> <span class="translit">(lā·‘ō·meq)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l, Article | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6011.htm">Strong's 6011: </a> </span><span class="str2">Depth</span><br /><br /><span class="word">so the hearts</span><br /><span class="heb">וְלֵ֥ב</span> <span class="translit">(wə·lêḇ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3820.htm">Strong's 3820: </a> </span><span class="str2">The heart, the feelings, the will, the intellect, centre</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of kings</span><br /><span class="heb">מְ֝לָכִ֗ים</span> <span class="translit">(mə·lā·ḵîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> </span><span class="str2">A king</span><br /><br /><span class="word">cannot</span><br /><span class="heb">אֵ֣ין</span> <span class="translit">(’ên)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_369.htm">Strong's 369: </a> </span><span class="str2">A non-entity, a negative particle</span><br /><br /><span class="word">be searched.</span><br /><span class="heb">חֵֽקֶר׃</span> <span class="translit">(ḥê·qer)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2714.htm">Strong's 2714: </a> </span><span class="str2">A searching, a thing (to be) searched out</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/proverbs/25-3.htm">Proverbs 25:3 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/proverbs/25-3.htm">Proverbs 25:3 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/proverbs/25-3.htm">Proverbs 25:3 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/proverbs/25-3.htm">Proverbs 25:3 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/proverbs/25-3.htm">Proverbs 25:3 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/proverbs/25-3.htm">Proverbs 25:3 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/proverbs/25-3.htm">Proverbs 25:3 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/proverbs/25-3.htm">Proverbs 25:3 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/proverbs/25-3.htm">Proverbs 25:3 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/proverbs/25-3.htm">Proverbs 25:3 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/proverbs/25-3.htm">OT Poetry: Proverbs 25:3 As the heavens for height and (Prov.
