Proverbs 22:28
Remove not the ancient landmark, Which thy fathers have set.
In context
25 Lest thou learn his ways, And get a snare to thy soul.
26 Be not thou one of them that strike hands, Or of them that are sureties for debts. 27 If thou hast nothing to pay, Why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
28 Remove not the ancient landmark, Which thy fathers have set.
29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; He shall not stand before mean men.
