21. that I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest carry back words of truth to them that send thee?
22. Rob not the poor, because he is poor, neither oppress the afflicted in the gate;
23. for Jehovah will plead their cause, and despoil the soul of those that despoil them.
24. Make no friendship with an angry man, and go not with a furious man;
25. lest thou learn his paths, and get a snare to thy soul.
26. Be not of them that strike hands, of them that are sureties for debts:
27. if thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
28. Remove not the ancient landmark which thy fathers have set.
29. Hast thou seen a man diligent in his work? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before the mean.
