21 Para hacerte saber la certidumbre de las razones verdaderas, para que puedas responder razones de verdad á los que á ti enviaren?

22 No robes al pobre, porque es pobre, ni quebrantes en la puerta al afligido:

23 Porque Jehová juzgará la causa de ellos, y despojará el alma de aquellos que los despojaren.

24 No te entrometas con el iracundo, ni te acompañes con el hombre de enojos;

25 Porque no aprendas sus maneras, y tomes lazo para tu alma.
