Proverbs 22:24–29
24
Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man.
Don’t associate with one who harbors anger,
25
lest you learn his ways
and ensnare your soul.
26
Don’t you be one of those who strike hands,
of those who are collateral for debts.

which your fathers have set up.

He will serve kings.
He won’t serve obscure men.
