Proverbs 22:22-25
King James Version
22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
23 For the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
25 Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.

22 (A)Do not rob the poor because he is poor,

And [b]find a snare for yourself.
