Exegesis
The negative existential ein cheker {אֵין חֵקֶר | ʾêyn khê-qer} ‘there is not searching out’ forms a result clause asserting the impossibility of examining the royal heart. The construct chain ve-lev melakhim indicates possession by linking ‘heart’ directly to ‘kings.’ English reproduces the parallel structure and supplies the copula in the negative existential, preserving the poetic intensification from cosmic realms to human psychology.
In context — Proverbs 25:3
As the heavens are for height and the earth for depth, so the heart of kings cannot be searched .
