So that your faith may be in the Lord, I have made them clear to you this day, even to you.
Have I not put in writing for you thirty sayings, with wise suggestions and knowledge,
To make you see how certain are true words, so that you may give a true answer to those who put questions to you?
Do not take away the property of the poor man because he is poor, or be cruel to the crushed ones when they come before the judge:
For the Lord will give support to their cause, and take the life of those who take their goods.
Do not be friends with a man who is given to wrath; do not go in the company of an angry man:
For fear of learning his ways and making a net ready for your soul.
