Proverbs 22:22 - Robertson's Book Notes (NT)

Proverbs 22:22

20 Have I not written to you excellent things
Of counsels and knowledge,

21 ^aThat I may make you know the certainty of the words of truth,
^bThat you may answer words of truth
To those who¹ send to you?

22 Do not rob the ^apoor because he is poor,
Nor oppress the afflicted at the gate;

23 ^aFor the Lord will plead their cause,
And plunder the soul of those who plunder them.

24 Make no friendship with an angry man,
And with a ^afurious man do not go,

25 Lest you learn his ways
And set a snare for your soul.

26 ^aDo not be one of those who¹ shakes hands in a pledge,
One of those who is¹ surety for debts;

27 If you have nothing with which to pay,
Why should he take away your bed from under you?

28 ^aDo not remove the ancient¹ landmark
Which your fathers have set.

29 Do you see a man who¹ excels in his work?
He will stand before kings;
He will not stand before¹ unknown men.
