Proverbs 22:23-29

23 For the LORD will judge their cause and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.

24 Do not meddle 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.

27 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should they take away thy bed from under thee?

28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.

29 Seest thou a man diligent in his work? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before obscure men.
