| 24 | Make no friendship with wrathful man; and with a man given to anger you shall not go, | 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 | Lest you learn his ways and find a stumbling block to your soul. | lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare. | or you may learn their ways and get yourself ensnared. | |
| 26 | Do not become a surety for a debt simply because you are ashamed to turn down those who ask you, | 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 | For if you have nothing to pay, they will take your bed 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 | Remove not the ancient landmark which your fathers have set. | Do not move the ancient landmark that your fathers have set. | Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors. | |
| 29 | When you see that a man is diligent in his work, he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before obscure men. | 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. | |
