28 Torture and chains are for a malevolent servant; send him to work, so that he may not be idle.
29 For idleness has taught much evil.
30 Appoint him to a task. For this is fitting for him. And if he will not be obedient, bend him with chains. But you should do no more than any flesh can bear. Truly, you should do nothing grievous without judgment.
31 If you have a faithful servant, let him be to you like your own soul. Treat him like a brother. For you have obtained him by the blood of your soul.
32 If you harm him unjustly, he will turn away and flee.
33 And then, when he lifts himself up and departs, you will not know whom to ask, or in what way to seek him.
