24Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man. Don’t associate with one who harbours 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.
