Proverbs

²⁴Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; and with a wrathful man thou shalt not go: ²⁵Lest thou learn his 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: ²⁷If thou hast not wherewith to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee? ²⁸Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. ²⁹Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
