22
Do you have cattle? Look after them; if they are profitable to you, keep them.
23
Do you have children? Discipline them, and make them obedient from their youth.
24
Do you have daughters? Be concerned for their chastity, and do not show yourself too indulgent with them.
25
Give a daughter in marriage; you will have finished a great task. But give her to a man of understanding.
26
If you have a wife who pleases you, do not cast her out; but do not trust yourself to one whom you detest.
