PROVERBS 22:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?”
If you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you—a stark warning about the consequences of defaulting on a debt; loss of even basic shelter may follow. The image 'bed snatched from under you' (mita me'tacha taka) is vivid; one may be left homeless. The theological significance involves the principle that wisdom protects oneself from ruin.
