Remain humble, because the godless are punished with fire and worms.
Do not exchange your friend for money, nor a real brother for the gold of Ophir.
Do not separate yourself from a wise and good woman, because a gracious wife is worth more than gold.
Do not maltreat the servant who works honestly, nor the laborer who works diligently.
Love the intelligent slave as yourself and do not deprive him of his freedom.
Sirach 7:17-21
