Proverbs 22:23

²¹ to show you true and reliable words, that you may soundly answer those who sent you?

²² Do not rob a poor man because he is poor, and do not crush the afflicted at the gate,

for the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who rob them.

²⁴ Do not make friends with an angry man, and do not associate with a hot-tempered man,

²⁵ or you may learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
