| 24 | Do not be a friend of one who has a bad temper, and never keep company with a hothead, | 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 set a trap for yourself. | lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare. | or you may learn their ways and get yourself ensnared. | |
| 26 | Do not be [found] among those who make deals with a handshake, among those who guarantee other people's 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 no money to pay back a loan, why should your bed be repossessed? | 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 | Do not move an ancient boundary marker that your ancestors set in place. | 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 who is efficient in his work? He will serve kings. He will not serve unknown people. | 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. | |
