Proverbs 22:23
World English Bible
Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
20 Haven`t I written to you thirty excellent things Of counsel and knowledge,
21 To teach you truth, reliable words, To give sound answers to the ones who sent you?
22 Don`t exploit the poor, because he is poor; And don`t crush the needy in court;
23 For Yahweh will plead their case, And plunder the life of those who plunder them.
24 Don`t befriend a hot-tempered man, And 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.
