24 Do not be a friend of one who has a bad temper, and never keep company with a hothead, 25 or you will learn his ways and set a trap for yourself. 26 Do not be [found] among those who make deals with a handshake, among those who guarantee other people's loans. 27 If you have no money to pay back a loan, why should your bed be repossessed? 28 Do not move an ancient boundary marker that your ancestors set in place. 29 Do you see a person who is efficient in his work? He will serve kings. He will not serve unknown people. Proverbs 22:24-29, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
