22 Do not exploit a poor person because he is poor and do not crush the needy in court, 23 for the LORD will plead their case and will rob those who are robbing them. 24 Do not make friends with an angry person, and do not associate with a wrathful person, 25 lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare. 26 Do not be one who strikes hands in pledge or who puts up security for debts. 27 If you do not have enough to pay, your bed will be taken right out from under you! 28 Do not move an ancient boundary stone which was put in place by your ancestors. 29 Do you see a person skilled in his work? He will take his position before kings; he will not take his position before obscure people. Proverbs 22:22-29, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
