Proverbs 22: 22 Rob not the weak, because he is weak, neither crush the poor in the gate;

Proverbs 22: 25 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.

Proverbs 22: 26 Be thou not of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts;

Proverbs 22: 27 If thou hast not wherewith to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?

Proverbs 22: 28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.

Proverbs 22: 29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
