Proverbs 22:24

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

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

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.

26 Do not be one who gives pledges, who puts up security for debts.

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