Sirach 42:5 In-Context

3 of keeping a record of expenses with a partner or a traveling companion, of distributing an inheritance to others,

4 of accuracy with scales and weights, of acquiring a lot or a little,

5 of profit from business with merchants, of frequent discipline of children, and of whipping wicked household slaves until they bleed.

6 In the case of a wicked wife, using your seal on your documents and supplies is an excellent idea, and lock up things anywhere there are lots of hands.

7 Whatever you deposit, whether by number and weight, and whatever you give or receive, put everything in writing.
