- Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
- For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
- Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
- Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
- Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
|
- Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court,
- for the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who plunder them.
- Do not make friends with a hot-tempered man, do not associate with one easily angered,
- or you may learn his ways and get yourself ensnared.
- Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts;
