Like the horizons for breadth and the ocean for depth,
the understanding of a good leader is broad and deep.

As the heavens are high and the earth is deep,
so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.

Proverbs 25:3 (New International Version)

No one can comprehend the height of heaven, the depth of the earth,
or all that goes on in the king’s mind!

No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him.

No eye has seen,
no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
what God has prepared for those who love him

Never so much as imagined anything quite like it—
What God has arranged for those who love him.

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
