1. Of these things be not ashamed, And accept no man’s person to sin thereby:
2. Of the law of the Most High, and his covenant; And of judgement to do justice to the ungodly;
3. Of reckoning with a partner and with travellers; And of a gift from the heritage of friends;
4. Of exactness of balance and weights; And of getting much or little;
5. Of indifferent selling of merchants; And of much correction of children; And of making the side of an evil servant to bleed.
6. Sure keeping is good, where an evil wife is; And where many hands are, shut you close.
7. Whatsoever you handest over, let it be by number and weight; And in giving and receiving let all be in writing.
