Proverbs 22:23

Living With Your Neighbor

²² Do not take away the property of the poor man because he is poor, or be cruel to the crushed ones when they come before the judge: ²³ For the Lord will give support to their cause, and take the life of those who take their goods. ²⁴ Do not be friends with a man who is given to wrath; do not go in the company of an angry man:
