| 26 | Be not with them that fasten down their hands, and that offer themselves sureties for debts: | Be not one of those who give pledges, who put up security for debts. | Do not be one who shakes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts; | |
| 27 | For if thou have not wherewith to restore, what cause is there, that he should take the covering from thy bed? | If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you? | if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you. | |
| 28 | Pass not beyond the ancient bounds which thy fathers have set. | Do not move the ancient landmark that your fathers have set. | Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors. | |
| 29 | Hast thou seen a man swift in his work? he shall stand before kings, and shall not be before those that are obscure. | Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men. | Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings; they will not serve before officials of low rank. | |
