Which verse emphasizes putting all dealings in writing?

• A. Colossians 3:23
• B. Tobit 7:14
• C. Sirach 42:7
• D. Proverbs 29:15

Answer: (C)

Documenting agreements is a practical safeguard in human dealings. When you put every deal in writing, you create a clear record of terms, responsibilities, and expectations that both parties can refer back to. Sirach 42:7 emphasizes this explicitly, urging that all matters be written down to avoid ambiguity and misinterpretation later on. It reflects a broader wisdom tradition that values prudence, accountability, and the binding nature of documented commitments. The other verses touch on related ideas—such as diligent work, specific contractual or family situations, or discipline in guidance—but none make the direct, universal call to write down all dealings as this verse does.
