Context of Proverbs 22:25

23for Jehovah will plead their cause, and despoil the soul of those that despoil them. 24Make no friendship with an angry man, and go not with a furious man; lest thou learn his paths, and get a snare to thy soul. 26Be not of them that strike hands, of them that are sureties for debts: 27if thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
