19
That thy confidence may be in Jehovah, I have made [them] known to thee this day, even to thee.
20
Have not I written to thee excellent things, in counsels and knowledge,
21
that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest carry back words of truth to them that send thee?
22
Rob not the poor, because he is poor, neither oppress the afflicted in the gate;
23
for Jehovah will plead their cause, and despoil the soul of those that despoil them.
24
Make no friendship with an angry man, and go not with a furious man;
25
lest thou learn his paths, and get a snare to thy soul.
26
Be not of them that strike hands, of them that are sureties for debts:
27
if thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
28
Remove not the ancient landmark which thy fathers have set.
29
Hast thou seen a man diligent in his work? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before the mean.
