Verse 26 is found in chapter 20 of Proverbs. Human steps are under the Lord’s direction, so a person does not fully know the outcome of his path. The text also warns against making religious promises hastily and then retracting them. The wise king searches out wickedness, and discipline can reach deeply into the human interior. The teaching joins sovereignty, responsibility, and correction.

El rey sabio esparce los impíos. Y sobre ellos hace tornar la rueda.

Un roi sage dissipe les méchants, Et fait passer sur eux la roue.
Il re savio dissipa gli empi, E rimena la ruota sopra loro
O rei sábio dispersa os ímpios e faz passar sobre eles a roda.
智慧的王驅散惡人, 用輪子滾過他們。
