Proverbs 22:23

Living With Your Neighbor

²² Don’t rob a poor man because he is poor,
and don’t crush the oppressed at the gate,
²³ for the Lord will take up their case
and will plunder those who plunder them. ²⁴ Don’t make friends with an angry man,
and don’t be a companion of a hot-tempered man,
