Proverbs 22:27-29
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
27 For if you are unable to pay,
your bed will be taken from under you.[a]
28 Do not remove the ancient landmark[b]
that your ancestors set up.(A)
29 Do you see those skilled at their work?
They will stand in the presence of kings,
but not in the presence of the obscure.
