20. Have I not written to you thirty sayings of admonition and knowledge,
21. to show you true and reliable words, that you may give a true answer to those who sent you?
22. Do not rob a poor person because he is poor, nor crush the needy at the gate,
23. for Adonai will plead their case, and rob life from those who plunder them.
24. Do not be friends with one given to anger or associate with a hot-tempered person,
25. lest you learn his ways, and entangle your soul in a snare.
26. Do not be one who shakes hands or puts up security for debts.
27. If you do not have enough to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you?
28. Do not move an ancient boundary stone which your fathers set up.
29. Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will stand before kings. He will not stand before obscure people.
