Proverbs 22:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ For if thou have not wherewith to restore, what cause is there, that he should take the covering from thy bed?

²⁸ Pass not beyond the ancient bounds which thy fathers have set.

²⁹ Hast thou seen a man swift in his work? he shall stand before kings, and shall not be before those that are obscure.
