OET (OET-LV) Remove the_wicked to_(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before a_king and_established in/on/at/with_righteousness throne_of_his.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
הָג֣וֹ
remove
In this verse, Solomon is comparing what follows to what he said in the previous verse. In the same way that “dross” must be removed from silver in order to make a vessel, a wicked one must be removed from before the face of the king in order for that king’s throne to be established. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “Similarly, remove” or “So also remove”

רָ֭שָׁע & מֶ֑לֶךְ & כִּסְאֽוֹ
wicked & king & throne_of,his
Here, a wicked one, the king, and his refer to types of people in general, not to specific people. See how you translated the same use of a wicked one in [9:7](../09/07.md) and the king and his in [16:13](../16/13.md).

and,established in/on/at/with,righteousness throne_of,his
See how you translated the similar phrase “by righteousness is a throne established” in [16:12](../16/12.md).
25:4-5 As silver is ready for use once it is refined of impurities, the king’s court can do justice when wicked people are removed. A little bit of evil can spoil much good (Eccl 10:1).
