Proverbs 22:22-29

Robbe not the poore, because hee is poore, neither oppresse the afflicted in iudgement.

For the Lord will defende their cause, and spoyle the soule of those that spoyle them.

Make no friendship with an angrie man, neither goe with the furious man,

Least thou learne his wayes, and receiue destruction to thy soule.

Be not thou of them that touch the hand, nor among them that are suretie for debts.

If thou hast nothing to paye, why causest thou that he should take thy bed from vnder thee?

Thou shalt not remooue the ancient bounds which thy fathers haue made.

Thou seest that a diligent man in his businesse standeth before Kings, and standeth not before the base sort.
