Sirach 37:11

¹¹Do not consult with a woman about her rival

or with a coward about war,

with a merchant about barter

or with a buyer about selling,

with a grudging man about gratitude

or with a merciless man about kindness,

with an idler about any work

or with a man hired for a year about completing his work,

with a lazy servant about a big task—

pay no attention to these in any matter of counsel.
