Proverbs 20:24-26

New Century Version

²⁴ The Lord decides what a person will do;
    no one understands what his life is all about.

²⁵ It’s dangerous to promise something to God too quickly.
    After you’ve thought about it, it may be too late.

²⁶ A wise king sorts out the evil people,
    and he punishes them as they deserve.
