Proverbes 22:24 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 22:24

Make no friendship with an angry man
Do not associate with him; contract not a familiarity with him; make him not a companion; take him not into an intimacy, or use him as a particular friend and acquaintance: a man should be courteous, and carry it civilly to all men; but he should take care whom he admits as his bosom friend; he should be cautious in his choice of a familiar friend, and not receive any; and, among the rest, avoid an angry and passionate man, one who is much given to passion himself, and stirs it up in others; for there can be no lasting peace and pleasure in such a man's company and conversation; and with a furious man thou shall not go:
not take a walk with him, much less a journey; or shall not be frequently together. It may be rendered, "unto a man of wraths", or of great wrath and "fury, thou shall not come"; not enter into his house, nor seek his company, and court his conversation, which rather should be shunned.

Proverbes 22:24 In-Context

22 Ne dépouille pas le pauvre, parce qu'il est pauvre, Et n'opprime pas le malheureux à la porte;
23 Car l'Eternel défendra leur cause, Et il ôtera la vie à ceux qui les auront dépouillés.
24 Ne fréquente pas l'homme colère, Ne va pas avec l'homme violent,
25 De peur que tu ne t'habitues à ses sentiers, Et qu'ils ne deviennent un piège pour ton âme.
26 Ne sois pas parmi ceux qui prennent des engagements, Parmi ceux qui cautionnent pour des dettes;
