20Have I not written thirty sayings for you,sayings of counsel and knowledge,
21teaching you to be honest and to speak the truth,so that you bring back truthful reportsto those you serve?Saying 2
22Do not exploit the poor because they are poorand do not crush the needy in court,
23for the Lord will take up their caseand will exact life for life.Saying 3
24Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person,do not associate with one easily angered,
25or you may learn their waysand get yourself ensnared.Saying 4
