20 Have not I written to thee excellent thingsin counsels and knowledge,
21 that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth;that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor:neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
23 for the Lord will plead their cause,and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
24 Make no friendship with an angry man;and with a furious man thou shalt not go;
25 lest thou learn his ways,and get a snare to thy soul.
26 Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
