2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter;

to search out a matter is the glory of kings.

2 It is the glory of God to conceal things,

but the glory of kings is to search things out.

2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing:

But the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

2 It is God’s privilege to conceal things

and the king’s privilege to discover them.

2 God is honored for what he keeps secret.

Kings are honored for what they can discover.

2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing;

But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing; but the glory of kings is to search out a thing.

2 It is the glory of God to hide things 

but the glory of kings to investigate them. 

2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter

and the glory of kings to investigate a matter.

2 It is the glory of God to conceal things,

but the glory of kings is to search things out.

2 The glory of God conceals things,

but the glory of kings searches out things.

2 When God hides a matter, he gets glory.

When kings figure out a matter, they get glory.

2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,

But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
