Lukas 16:6-8
Orthodox Jewish Bible
6 And he said, One hundred jugs of olive oil. And the sochen said to him, Take your bill, sit down, quickly write fifty.
7 Then to another he said, And you, how much do you owe? And he said, One hundred containers of wheat. He says to him, Take your bill and write eighty.
8 And the Baal Bayit praised the unrighteous sochen because he acted with chochmah. Because the Bnei HaOlam HaZeh have more seichel in dealing with their own generation than the Bnei HaOhr. [Psa 17:14; 18:26]
