- Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court,
- for the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who plunder them.
- Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do not associate with one easily angered,
- or you may learn his ways and get yourself ensnared.
- Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts;
|
- if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you.
- Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your forefathers.
- Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men.
