Ben Sira 42:1-6

1 Of these things be not thou ashamed, and accept no person to sin thereby:

2 of the law of the Most High and His covenant, and of judgment to justify the ungodly;

3 of reckoning with thy partners and travelers, or of the gift of the heritage of friends;

4 of exactness of balance and weights, or of getting much or little;

5 and of merchants' selling without profit, of much correction of children, and to make the side of an evil servant to bleed.

6 Safekeeping is good where an evil wife is, and shut up where many hands are.
