Specific Instructions on Justice and Relationships

Proverbs 22:22-29

Rob not the poor because he is poor, And bruise not the afflicted in the gate.

For Jehovah pleadeth their cause, And hath spoiled the soul of their spoilers.

Shew not thyself friendly with an angry man, And with a man of fury go not in,

Lest thou learn his paths, And have received a snare to thy soul.

Be not thou among those striking hands, Among sureties for burdens.

If thou hast nothing to pay, Why doth he take thy bed from under thee?

Remove not a border of olden times, That thy fathers have made.

Hast thou seen a man speedy in his business? Before kings he doth station himself, He stations not himself before obscure men!
