6 In the case of a wicked wife,using your seal on your documents and supplies is an excellent idea,and lock up thingsanywhere there are lots of hands.
7 Whatever you deposit,whether by number and weight,and whatever you give or receive,put everything in writing.
8 Don’t be ashamed of disciplinefor the stupid and foolishand for the old codgerwho is guilty of sexual immorality.Then you will have been truly educatedand approved by everyone alive.
9 A daughter is a hidden sourceof sleeplessness for her father,and anxiety about her deprives himof sleep:in her youth, that she doesn’t passher prime,and when she’s married,that she not be hated;
10 while she’s a virgin,that she not be seducedand become pregnantwhile still living at home;when she’s married,that she not go straying;or having married,that she not be infertile.
11 Keep a strict watch overan unruly daughterso that she doesn’t make youan object of ridicule to your enemies,a topic of talk in the cityand the assembly of the people,and she shame you before the crowd.
12 Don’t consider the beautyof any person,and don’t spend time among women.
