Proverbs 22:19-26

¹⁹That thy hope may be in the Lord, and he may make thy way known to thee.

²⁰And do thou too repeatedly record them for thyself on the table of thine heart, for counsel and knowledge.

²¹I therefore teach thee truth, and knowledge good to hear; that thou mayest answer words of truth to them that question thee.

²²Do no violence to the poor, for he is needy: neither dishonour the helpless man in the gates.

²³For the Lord will plead his cause, and thou shalt deliver thy soul in safety.

²⁴Be not companion to a furious man; neither lodge with a passionate man:

²⁵lest thou learn of his ways, and get snares to thy soul.

²⁶Become not surety from respect of a man's person.
