katapi HOME Ecclesiasticus 33:24-31 - Slaves.  Sir.33.24-31

33 24 Fodder and a stick and burdens for an ass;
bread and discipline and work for a servant.
33 25 Set your slave to work, and you will find rest;
leave his hands idle, and he will seek liberty.
33 26 Yoke and thong will bow the neck,
and for a wicked servant there are racks and tortures.
33 27 Put him to work, that he may not be idle,
for idleness teaches much evil.
33 28 Set him to work, as is fitting for him,
and if he does not obey, make his fetters heavy.
33 29 Do not act immoderately toward anybody,
and do nothing without discretion.

33 30 If you have a servant, let him be as yourself,
because you have bought him with blood.
33 31 If you have a servant,
treat him as a brother,
for as your own soul you will need him.
