Proverbs 22:27-29

New International Version

²⁷if you lack the means to pay,
your very bed will be snatched from under you.^(A)

²⁸Do not move an ancient boundary stone^(B)
set up by your ancestors.

²⁹Do you see someone skilled^(C) in their work?
They will serve^(D) before kings;^(E)
they will not serve before officials of low rank.

Proverbs 22:27-29

New King James Version

²⁷If you have nothing with which to pay,
Why should he take away your bed from under you?

²⁸^(A)Do not remove the ancient ^[a]landmark
Which your fathers have set.

²⁹Do you see a man who ^[b]excels in his work?
He will stand before kings;
He will not stand before ^[c]unknown men.
