Proverbs

²⁰Have not I written unto thee excellent things Of counsels and knowledge, ²¹To make thee know the certainty of the words of truth, That thou mayest carry back words of truth to them that send thee? ²²Rob not the poor, because he is poor; Neither oppress the afflicted in the gate: ²³For Jehovah will plead their cause, And despoil of life those that despoil them. ²⁴Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go: ²⁵Lest thou learn this ways, And get a snare to thy soul. ²⁶Be thou not one of them that strike hands, Or of them that are sureties for debts.
