Proverbs 22:21-26

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²² Do not rob the poor because they are poor,
    or crush the afflicted at the gate;
²³ for the Lord pleads their cause
    and despoils of life those who despoil them.
²⁴ Make no friends with those given to anger,
    and do not associate with hotheads,
²⁵ or you may learn their ways
    and entangle yourself in a snare.
²⁶ Do not be one of those who give pledges,
    who become surety for debts.
