25:2 The glory of God conceals things This enigmatic proverb contrasts God and the king.
God shows His glory by His great and unknowable power, specifically in creation (Job 11:7; 26:14).
In contrast, the glory of the king is to know and understand in order to rightly govern his people (1 Kgs 3:9).

verse 2 is a
Antithetic parallelism
Again, the same thought is expressed in two lines, but this time the author uses antonyms (a word whose meaning is the opposite of another word).
Prov.
10:1 is a good example:
“A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother.”
Or again, we read in 17:22,
“A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.”

verse 3 is a
Comparative or Emblematic parallelism
In this case, an ethical or practical truth is explained by an illustration, often taken from nature.
“Like apples of gold in settings of silver, is a word spoken in the right circumstances” (25:11).
“A constant dripping on a day of steady rain, and a contentious woman are alike” (27:15).
“Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest” (Prov.
26:2).
