Sirach 42:6-8

Common English Bible

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.
⁷ Whatever you deposit,
whether by number and weight,
    and whatever you give or receive,
    put everything in writing.
⁸ Don’t be ashamed of discipline
for the stupid and foolish
    and for the old codger
    who is guilty of sexual immorality.
Then you will have been truly educated
    and approved by everyone alive.
