24. Do not befriend an owner of anger, and with a man of wrath you shall not associate;

25. lest you learn his way and become entangled in a snare to yourself.

26. Do not be with those who give a pledge by becoming surety.

27. If there is nothing for you to pay, why will he take your bed from under you?

28. Do not remove an ancient boundary marker which your ancestors made.

29. A man who is skillful in his work, you shall see: before kings, he will serve; he will not serve before the commoners.
