23 The Lord will take up their caseand press the life out of those who oppress them.
24 Don’t befriend people controlled by anger;don’t associate with hot-tempered people;
25 otherwise, you will learn their waysand become trapped.
26 Don’t shake hands to guarantee a loan.
27 If you can’t repay,why should they be able to take your bed from you?
28 Don’t remove an ancient boundary markerthat your ancestors established.
29 Do you see people who work skillfully?They will work for kingsbut not work for lowly people.
