Proverbs 22:24-27

²⁴ Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man, ²⁵ lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.

²⁶ Be not one of those who give pledges, who become surety for debts. ²⁷ If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you?
