20 Did I not write to thee three days ago in counsels and knowledge? 21 To cause thee to know the truth of the words of truth; to turn back the words of truth to those sending thee? 22 Thou shalt not strip the poor because he is poor: and thou shalt not crush the humble in the gate. 23 For Jehovah will contend their contention, and rob the soul to those robbing them. 24 Thou shalt not be companion of the possessor of anger, and with the man of wrath thou shalt not go: 25 Lest thou shalt learn his ways and take a snare to thy soul. 26 Thou shalt not be with those striking the hand with those pledging for debts. 27 If not to thee to requite, why shall he take thy bed from under thee? 28 Thou shalt not remove the old bound which thy fathers made. 29 Sawest thou a man apt in his works? Before kings shall he stand; he shall not stand before the dark ones. Proverbs 22:20-29, Smith's Literal Translation. Public domain.
