Sirach 42:4-6
Common English Bible
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[a] is an excellent idea,
and lock up things
anywhere there are lots of hands.
