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 this ways, And get a snare to thy soul.
26 Be thou not one 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?
