Proverbs 22:24-29

24 noli esse amicus homini iracundo neque ambules cum viro furioso
25 ne forte discas semitas eius et sumas scandalum animae tuae
26 noli esse cum his qui defigunt manus suas et qui vades se offerunt pro debitis
27 si enim non habes unde restituas quid causae est ut tollat operimentum de cubili tuo
28 ne transgrediaris terminos antiquos quos posuerunt patres tui
29 vidisti virum velocem in opere suo coram regibus stabit nec erit ante ignobiles
