It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings—an affirmation that mystery is inherent to God's nature and that human nobility involves careful investigation, establishing both divine transcendence and human intellectual dignity. The parallelism suggests that both concealment and investigation are glorious. The theological significance involves the principle that God's hiddenness invites human seeking, and that investigation of creation is a royal calling.
