Proverbs 22:23 Context
21That I might make thee knowe the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answere the words of trueth to them that send vnto thee? 22Rob not the poore because he is poore, neither oppresse the afflicted in the gate. 23For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoile the soule of those that spoiled them. 24Make no friendship with an angrie man: and with a furious man thou shalt not goe; 25Lest thou learne his wayes, and get a snare to thy soule.
