Sirach 42:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷Whatever you deposit,
whether by number and weight,
    and whatever you give or receive,
    put everything in writing.
⁸Don’t be ashamed of discipline
for the stupid and foolish
    and for the old codger
    who is guilty of sexual immorality.
Then you will have been truly educated
    and approved by everyone alive.

    that she not be hated;
