Proverbs 22:27

Verse 27 of 29. The 22nd of 31 chapters in Proverbs, in Poetry and Wisdom.

23for the LORD will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.

24Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man. Don’t associate with one who harbors anger,

25lest you learn his ways and ensnare your soul.

26Don’t you be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral for debts.

27If you don’t have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?

28Don’t move the ancient boundary stone which your fathers have set up.

29Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won’t serve obscure men.
