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 travellers; 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' indifferent selling; of much correction of children; and to make the side of an evil servant to bleed.
6
Sure keeping is good, where an evil wife is; and shut up, where many hands are.
7
Deliver all things in number and weight; and put all in writing that thou givest out, or receivest in.
8
Be not ashamed to inform the unwise and foolish, and the extreme aged that contendeth with those that are young: thus shalt thou be truly learned, and approved of all men living.
