Ben Sira 7:22

22 Hast thou cattle? Have an eye to them; and if they be for thy profit, keep them with thee.

Ben Sira 7:22 In-Context

20 When thy servant worketh truly, treat him not evilly, nor the hireling that bestoweth himself wholly for thee.
21 Let thy soul love a good servant, and defraud him not of liberty.
22 Hast thou cattle? Have an eye to them; and if they be for thy profit, keep them with thee.
23 Hast thou children? Instruct them, and bow down their neck from their youth.
24 Hast thou daughters? Have concern for their chastity, and show not thyself indulgent toward them.
