27 If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
27 if you lack the means to pay, your very bed will be snatched from under you.
27 If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you?
27 The time will come when you have to pay up; you'll be left with nothing but the shirt on your back.
27 If you have nothing with which to pay, Why should he take away your bed from under you?
27 If you can't pay it, even your bed will be snatched from under you.
