Ecclesiasticus 42:1-7 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. REPEAT not the word which thou hast heard, and disclose not the thing that is secret; so shalt thou be truly without confusion, and shah find favour before all men: be not ashamed of any of these things, and accept no person to sin thereby:

2. Of the law of the most High, and of his covenant, and of judgment to justify the ungodly:

3. Of the affair of companions and travellers, and of the gift of the inheritance of friends:

4. Of exactness of balance and weights, of getting much or little:

5. Of the corruption of buying, and of merchants, and of much correction of children, and to make the side of a wicked slave to bleed.

6. Sure keeping is good over a wicked wife.

7. Where there are many hands, shut up, and deliver all things in number, and weight: and put all in writing that thou givest out or receivest in.
