Proverbs 22:22-Proverbs 23:11 - Living With Your Neighbor
22 Do not exploit the poor, because he is poor; and do not crush the needy in court; 23 for the LORD will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.
24 Do not befriend a hot-tempered man, and do not associate with one who harbors anger: 25 lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul.
26 Do not be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral for debts. 27 If you do not have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?
28 Do not move the ancient boundary stone, which your fathers have set up.
29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won't serve obscure men.
1 When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you; 2 put a knife to your throat, if you are a man given to appetite. 3 Do not be desirous of his dainties, seeing they are deceitful food.
4 Do not weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint. 5 Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.
6 Do not eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, and do not crave his delicacies: 7 for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. "Eat and drink." he says to you, but his heart is not with you. 8 The morsel which you have eaten you shall vomit up, and lose your good words.
9 Do not speak in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.
10 Do not move the ancient boundary stone. Do not encroach on the fields of the fatherless: 11 for their Defender is strong. He will plead their case against you.
