Proverbs 22:22-29 ▼

22 Do not exploit the poor, because he is poor; and do not crush the needy in court;

23 for the LORD will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.

24 Do not befriend a hot-tempered man, and do not associate with one who harbors anger:

25 lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul.

26 Do not be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral for debts.

27 If you do not have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?

28 Do not move the ancient boundary stone, which your fathers have set up.

29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won't serve obscure men.
