The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.
The saying belongs to the proverbs of Solomon that were copied out from his writings by the scribes of Hezekiah. That gathering and copying took place in Hezekiah's time, about three hundred years after Solomon. It likens the heart of kings to the height of heaven for height and the earth for depth, teaching that royal motives and counsels are unsearchable as those immeasurable expanses are unmeasured.
