Proverbs 22:24

Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go:
– Proverbs 22:24

The word for friendship literally means to tend a flock and is put for associating with. Wisdom has warned against the folly of anger (Proverbs 15:18; 19:19), but the warning here is along a different line, as seen in the next verse. The word for angry means nostrils and the word for furious means heat. The words describe the marks of a hot tempered man. The saying instructs not to associate with, or be the companion of such a man.
