2
Do not be ashamed of the law of the Most High and his covenant, and of rendering judgment to acquit the ungodly;
3
of keeping accounts with a partner or with traveling companions, and of dividing the inheritance of friends;
4
of accuracy with scales and weights, and of acquiring much or little;
5
of profit from dealing with merchants, and of frequent disciplining of children, and of drawing blood from the back of a wicked slave.
6
Where there is an untrustworthy wife, a seal is a good thing; and where there are many hands, lock things up.
