Sirach 42:6-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 Where there is an untrustworthy wife, a seal is a good thing,
and where there are many hands, lock things up.
7 When you make a deposit, be sure it is counted and weighed,
and when you give or receive, put it all in writing.
8 Do not be ashamed to correct the stupid or foolish
or the aged who are guilty of sexual immorality.
Then you will show your sound training
and will be approved by all.
