Proverbs 22:23-27 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

23. The Lord will stand up for them in court. He will take back the stolen goods from those who have robbed them.

24. Don't be a friend with anyone who burns with anger. Don't go around with a person who gets angry easily.

25. You might learn his habits. And then you will be trapped by them.

26. Don't agree to pay for what someone else owes.

27. Don't put up money for him. If you don't have the money to pay, your bed will be taken right out from under you!
