Ecclesiasticus 7:22

Ecclesiasticus 7:22 Context

¹⁹Forego not a wise and good woman: for her grace is above gold. ²⁰Whereas thy servant worketh truly, entreat him not evil, nor the hireling that bestoweth himself wholly for thee. ²¹Let thy soul love a good servant, and defraud him not of liberty. ²²Hast thou cattle? have an eye to them: and if they be for thy profit, keep them with thee. ²³Hast thou children? instruct them, and bow down their neck from their youth. ²⁴Hast thou daughters? have a care of their body, and shew not thyself cheerful toward them. ²⁵Marry thy daughter, and so shalt thou have performed a weighty matter: but give her to a man of understanding.
