Proverbs 22:25-29 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

25. Lest you learn their ways,and become ensnared.

26. Do not be one of those who give their hand in pledge,those who become surety for debts;

27. For if you are unable to pay,your bed will be taken from under you.

28. Do not remove the ancient landmarkthat your ancestors set up.

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.
