The rich are the masters of the poor; the debtors are slaves of their creditors. Proverbs 22: 7 (NVIC)

My son, if you give bail for your friend or you are responsible for a stranger, 2 you only set the trap: you are trapped in your own words. 3 To free yourself, my son, for you are in the hands of another, do the following: swallow your pride and take your friend.
4 Do not fall asleep, do not give yourself a moment of rest; 5 flees, like a deer of the hunter; run away, like a bird from the trap. Proverbs 6: 1-3
