Proverbs 22:18-24

¹⁸That shall be fair to thee, when thou hast kept it in thine heart, and it shall flow again in thy lips. (It shall please thee when thou hast kept it in thy heart, and it shall flow freely from thy lips.)

¹⁹That thy trust be in the Lord; wherefore and I have showed it to thee today. (So that thy trust be in the Lord; and so I have showed it to thee today.)

²⁰Lo! I have described it in three manners, in thoughts and knowing,

²¹(so) that I should show to thee the firmness and speeches of truth; to answer (out) of these things to them that sent (unto) thee.

²²Do thou not violence to a poor man, for he is poor; neither defoul thou a needy man in the gate. (Do not thou do violence to a poor person, because he is poor; and do not take advantage of a needy person in court or at the city gates.)

²³For the Lord shall deem his cause, and he shall torment them that tormented his soul. (For the Lord shall judge his case, and he shall torment those who tormented him.)

²⁴Do not thou be (a) friend to a wrathful man, neither go thou with a wrathful man;
