Proverbs 22:22-Proverbs 23:11 - Living With Your Neighbor
22 Do not rob the poor because he is poor, or crush the afflicted at the gate. 23 Jehovah will plead their cause and take the life of those who rob them.
24 Do not befriend an angry man. Do not associate with a man who throws fits. 25 If you do you will learn his ways and you will become trapped.
26 Do not give pledges and be guarantors for debts. 27 If you have nothing to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?
28 Do not remove the ancient landmark which your fathers have set.
29 Do you see a man diligent in his business? He will stand before kings. He will not stand before unknown 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 with a strong desire (lust) (passion). 3 Do not crave his delicacies for it is deceptive food.
4 Do not exhaust yourself to get rich. Be wise and show restraint. 5 Will you look for things that do not exist? Riches grow wings and fly away like a bird.
6 Do not eat the bread of a selfish man nor desire his delicacies. 7 Just as he thinks in his heart: Eat and drink, he says to you. But his heart is not with you. 8 You vomit the morsel you eat and waste your complements.
9 Do not speak to a fool for he will despise your wise words.
10 Do not remove the old landmark (boundry). And do not enter the field of the fatherless. 11 Their redeemer is mighty. He will plead their cause with you.
