Proverbs 22:27-29

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁷ If you have nothing with which to pay,
    why should your bed be taken from under you?
²⁸ Remove not the ancient landmark
    which your fathers have set.
²⁹ Do you see a man skilful in his work?
    he will stand before kings;
    he will not stand before obscure men.
