Verse 26 is found in chapter 29 of Proverbs. Uncontrolled anger produces strife, while pride ultimately humiliates the individual. Fearing people excessively can become a trap, in contrast with trusting in the Lord. The passage ends with the tension between the righteous and the unjust: their ways produce mutual rejection because they pursue opposing principles. The teaching does not present moral neutrality as the solution, but requires recognition of the differences between the two paths.

Viele suchen das Angesicht eines Fürsten; aber eines jeglichen Gericht kommt vom HERRN.

Beaucoup de gens recherchent la faveur de celui qui domine, Mais c'est l'Eternel qui fait droit à chacun.
Molti cercano la faccia di colui che signoreggia; Ma dal Signore procede il giudicio di ciascuno
Muitos buscam o favor do poderoso, mas o juízo de cada um vem do SENHOR.
求王恩的人多; 人獲公正來自耶和華。
