Which verse says Deliver all things in number and weight; and put all in writing that thou givest out, or receivest in?

• A. Sirach 42:7
• B. Proverbs 29:15
• C. Colossians 3:23
• D. Exodus 20:12

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is fair dealing through precise measurement and clear records. Sirach 42:7 directs you to deliver all things in number and weight and to put everything in writing that you give out or receive in. This captures a practical ethic of honesty and accountability in everyday transactions: make sure nothing is unknown or untracked, and make sure agreements are written so both sides are protected.

That exact emphasis on counting, weighing, and recording is what sets this verse apart from the others listed. The other passages address different themes—discipline and wisdom in parenting, doing work as unto the Lord, and honoring parents—rather than the procedural care of goods and agreements in exchange. So the verse from Sirach is the best fit for the concept described.
