1
Of these things be not thou ashamed, and accept no person to sin thereby:
2
of the law of the Most High and His covenant, and of judgment to justify the ungodly;
3
of reckoning with thy partners and travelers, or of the gift of the heritage of friends;
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.
