If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
Si no tienes con qué pagar, ¿por qué permitirías que alguien te quite la cama de debajo de ti?
No te comprometas financieramente si no puedes cumplir, porque podrías perder hasta lo más básico.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In ancient Israelite society, borrowing and lending were common practices, but if a debtor couldn't repay, creditors could seize personal belongings, even essential items like a bed, which highlighted the harsh realities of poverty and injustice. This proverb from the Book of Proverbs, part of the wisdom literature attributed to King Solomon, serves as a practical warning to avoid overextending oneself in debt to prevent such dire consequences. It reflects the cultural emphasis on wise decision-making in everyday life to maintain dignity and stability.
