Proverbs 22:24
Compare all
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?
