21. Do not choose to depart from a good and understanding wife, whom you have been allotted in the fear of the Lord. For the grace of her modesty is above gold.
22. You should not harm the servant whose works are honest, nor the hired hand who entrusts his life to you.
23. Let an understanding servant be loved by you like your own soul. You should not cheat him out of freedom, nor abandon him to destitution.
24. Are cattle yours? Tend to them. And if they are useful, let them remain with you.
25. Are sons yours? Instruct them, and bow them down from their childhood.
26. Are daughters yours? Watch over their bodies. And you should not display a light-hearted attitude toward them.
27. Give your daughter in marriage, and give her to an understanding man, and you will be doing a great work.
28. If a wife in accord with your soul is yours, you should not reject her. But do not entrust yourself to her who is hateful.
