Proverbs 22:23–25

PROVERBS CHAPTER 22.

V. 23. The Lord will plead their cause, conducting the case of the poor and afflicted, as their Advocate and Champion, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them, taking the side of the wronged and vindicating the poor by punishing the violation of right and justice on the part of the powerful.

V. 24. Make no friendship with an angry man, a man of violent temper, and with a furious man thou shalt not go, one who cannot control himself. V. 25. lest thou learn his ways, be infected by his vice, and get a snare to thy soul, for a violent temper is a fatal net to him who is subject to its attacks
