Proverbs 22:21-28 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

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.
