What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. The minds of the lost are ever awake to evil imaginations, but very often the Providence above counteracts them, and though not even when they are crushed with adversities do they amend the wickedness of their counsel, yet that they may never prevail against the good, He puts a check upon their power. …
Thomas Aquinas
Second he speaks of those who oppress others. These are of two sorts. Some openly oppress others through force, and as to these he says, "He frustrates the designs of evildoers, so that their hands achieve no success," because they are impeded in accomplishing their works by God so that they cannot bring their evil intention into effect.
