20 Haven’t I written for you thirty sayings about counsel and knowledge,
21 in order to teach you true and reliable words,so that you may give a dependable report to those who sent you?
22 Don’t rob a poor man because he is poor,and don’t crush the oppressed at the gate,
23 for the Lord will take up their case and will plunder those who plunder them.
24 Don’t make friends with an angry man, and don’t be a companion of a hot-tempered man,
25 or you will learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.
26 Don’t be one of those who enter agreements, who put up security for loans.
