Proverbs 22:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ Be not with them that fasten down their hands, and that offer themselves sureties for debts:

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.
