4 using accurate weights and measures,

Ben Sira 42:4 In-Context

2 the Law of the Most High and his covenant, judging even godless people fairly,

3 sharing expenses with a business partner or a traveling companion, sharing an inheritance,

4 using accurate weights and measures,

5 making a profit, whether great or small, bargaining with a merchant, disciplining your children often, beating a disloyal slave until the blood flows.

6 It is wise to lock things up if you cannot trust your wife or if too many people are around.
