Proverbs 22:24 in context

  1. 22Don’t exploit the poor, because he is poor;
    and don’t crush the needy in court;
  2. 23for Yahweh will plead their case,
    and plunder the life of those who plunder them.
  3. 24Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man,
    and don’t associate with one who harbors anger:

    and ensnare your soul.
  5. 26Don’t you be one of those who strike hands,
    of those who are collateral for debts.
