24 Fodder, a stick, and burdens, for an ass; Bread, and discipline, and work, for a servant.
25 Set your servant to work, and you shall find rest: Leave his hands idle, and he will seek liberty.
26 Yoke and thong will bow the neck: And for an evil servant there are racks and tortures.
27 Send him to labor, that he be not idle; For idleness teaches much mischief.
28 Set him to work, as is fit for him; And if he obey not, make his fetters heavy.
29 And be not excessive toward any; And without judgement do nothing.
30 If you have a servant, let him be as yourself, Because you have bought him with blood.
