Proverbs 22:24-29 ▼

24 Do not associate with a man given to anger; Or go with a hot-tempered man,

25 Or you will learn his ways And find a snare for yourself.

26 Do not be among those who give pledges, Among those who become guarantors for debts.

27 If you have nothing with which to pay, Why should he take your bed from under you?

28 Do not move the ancient boundary Which your fathers have set.

29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before obscure men.
