Proverbs 20:26 in Context — Proverbs 20

24 De Jehová son los pasos del hombre: ¿cómo pues entenderá el hombre su camino?

25 Lazo es al hombre el devorar lo santo, y andar pesquisando después de los votos.

26 El rey sabio esparce los impíos, y sobre ellos hace tornar la rueda.

27 Candela de Jehová es el alma del hombre, que escudriña lo secreto del vientre.

28 Misericordia y verdad guardan al rey; y con clemencia sustenta su trono.
