24 Don’t make friends with an angry person, and don’t be a companion of a hot-tempered one, Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man, Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person, do not associate with one easily angered,
25 or you will learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare. lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare. or you may learn their ways and get yourself ensnared.
26 Don’t be one of those who enter agreements, who put up security for loans. Be not one of those who give pledges, who put up security for debts. Do not be one who shakes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts;
27 If you have nothing with which to pay, even your bed will be taken from under you. If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you? if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you.
28 Don’t move an ancient boundary marker that your ancestors set up. Do not move the ancient landmark that your fathers have set. Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors.
29 Do you see a person skilled in his work? He will stand in the presence of kings. He will not stand in the presence of the unknown. Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men. Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank.
