Context of Proverbs 22:25

23For Jehovah will plead their cause, And despoil of life those that despoil them. 24Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, And get a snare to thy soul. 26Be thou not one of them that strike hands, Orof them that are sureties for debts. 27If thou hast not wherewith to pay, Why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
