23. For the Lord will plead their cause and deprive of life those who deprive [the poor or afflicted]. [Zech. 7:10; Mal. 3:5.]
24. Make no friendships with a man given to anger, and with a wrathful man do not associate,
25. Lest you learn his ways and get yourself into a snare.
26. Be not one of those who strike hands and pledge themselves, or of those who become security for another's debts.
