Sirach 33:27 CPDV

²⁵  Fodder and a rod and a burden are for a donkey; bread and discipline and work are for a servant.

²⁶  He works under discipline, and he seeks rest. Allow his hands to be idle, and he seeks liberty.

²⁷  The yoke and the strap bend a stiff neck, and continual labors bend a servant.

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.
