Proverbs 22:22-28
221Do not rob the poor because he is poor, Nor 2crush the needy at the gate;23For the Lord will 3plead their case And 4take the life of those who rob them.
24Do not make friends with a person given to anger, Or go with a 5hot-tempered person,25Or you will 6learn his ways And 7find a snare for yourself.
26Do not be among those who 8shake hands, Among those who become guarantors for debts.27If you have nothing with which to repay, Why should he 9take your bed from under you?
2810Do not move the ancient boundary Which your fathers have set.
