Sirach 37:9-11

Good News Translation

¹¹ Don't ask a woman for advice about a rival of hers,
    a coward about war,
    a merchant about a bargain,
    a buyer about selling,
    a stingy person about gratitude,
    a cruel person about kindness,
    a lazy person about work,
    a casual worker about finishing a job,
    a lazy slave about a difficult task.
