Ben Sira 42:6

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

Ben Sira 42:6 In-Context

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.

7 Deliver all things by 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 by all men living.
