Proverbs 22:25

23 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,

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.

27 If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you?

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