“Do not withhold until the following day the wages of those who work for you, but pay them at once. If you serve God, you will be rewarded. Be cautious, my son, in everything that you do, and let your behavior be disciplined.
“Do not keep over until the next day the wages of those who work for you, but pay them at once. If you serve God you will receive payment. Watch yourself, my son, in everything you do, and discipline yourself in all your conduct.
Pay your workers each day; never keep back their wages overnight. Honor God in this way, and he will reward you. Behave properly at all times.
And suffer (or allow) thou never pride to have lordship in thy wit, neither in thy word; for all loss, either damnation, took beginning in pride. [Pride never in thy wit or in thy word suffer thou to have lordship; in it forsooth all perdition took beginning.]
Do not hold over till the next day the wages of any man who works for you, but pay him at once; and if you serve God you will receive payment. “Watch yourself, my son, in everything you do, and be disciplined in all your conduct.
“Do not keep over until the next day the wages of those who work for you, but pay them their wages the same day, and let not the pay of those among you be delayed overnight.
