Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:

Verse 24 is found in chapter 22 of Proverbs. The opening portion of these words of the wise defends the poor against exploitation and forbids destructive association with people dominated by anger. It also warns against assuming imprudent financial obligations. The conclusion presents the diligent worker as someone who may stand before kings. Wisdom therefore affects social justice, personal relationships, finances, and vocation.

Geselle dich nicht zum Zornigen und halte dich nicht zu einem grimmigen Mann;
No te entrometas con el iracundo, Ni te acompañes con el hombre de enojos;
Ne fréquente pas l'homme colère, Ne va pas avec l'homme violent,
Non accompagnarti con l’uomo collerico; E non andar con l’uomo iracondo;
Não sejas companheiro do homem briguento nem andes com o colérico,
不可結交好生氣的人, 也不可與暴怒的人來往,
