20 Have I not previously written to you Of counsels and knowledge,
21 To cause you to know The certainty of the words of truth, To return words of truth to those who send to you?
22 Do not rob the poor because he is poor, And oppress not the afflicted at the gate.
23 For יהוה pleads their cause, And shall plunder those who plunder them.
24 Make no friendship with one given to wrath, And do not go with a man of rage,
25 Lest you learn his ways, And find yourself ensnared.
26 Do not be one of those who shakes hands in a pledge, One of those who are guarantors for debts.
