Proverbs 22:23

Haven’t I written to you thirty excellent things

of counsel and knowledge,

To teach you truth, reliable words,

to give sound answers to the ones who sent you?

Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor;

and don’t crush the needy in court;

Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man.

Don’t associate with one who harbors anger,

lest you learn his ways

and ensnare your soul.

Don’t you be one of those who strike hands,

of those who are collateral for debts.
