24 On the last day of your life,at the moment of death,distribute your inheritance.
25 Fodder, a rod, and burdens for donkeys;bread, discipline,and work for household slaves.
26 Set them to work with discipline,and you will have leisure;let their hands be idle,and they will seek freedom.
27 A yoke and a strap will bend a neck,and there are racks and torturesfor a wicked household slave.
28 Put them to work so that they aren’t idle,
29 because idleness teaches many evils.
30 Set them to work, as is proper for them,and if they don’t obey,make their shackles heavy.Don’t overburden a personmade of flesh,and don’t do anythingwithout exercising good judgment.
