Proverbs 22:26 in Context — Proverbs 22

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.

26 No estés entre los que tocan la mano, entre los que fían por deudas.

27 Si no tuvieres para pagar, ¿por qué han de quitar tu cama de debajo de ti?

28 No traspases el término antiguo que pusieron tus padres.
