Proverbs 22:27-29

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁷ If you have nothing with which to pay,
    why should your bed be taken from under you?
²⁸ Do not remove the ancient landmark
    that your ancestors set up.
²⁹ Do you see those who are skillful in their work?
    They will serve kings;
    they will not serve common people.
