Do not exchange a friend or a brother for even the best gold. Forgo not a wise and a good wife, for her grace is above gold. Entreat not evil a servant that works truly.
Raise up your sons strictly. You must watch carefully over your daughters. Giving a daughter in marriage is difficult work; give her to a man of understanding. Have you a wife after your mind? Cast her not out. Trust not yourself to one that is hateful.
