24 Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; And with a wrathful man thou shalt not go;

25 Lest thou learn his ways, And get a snare to thy soul.

26 Be thou not of them that strike hands, Or of them that are sureties for debts;

27 If thou hast not wherewith to pay, Why should he 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 business? he shall stand before kings; He shall not stand before mean men.
