Ecclesiasticus 33:25 Context
23At the time when thou shalt end thy dayes, and finish thy life, distribute thine inheritance. 24Fodder, a wand, and burdens, are for the asse: and bread, correction, and worke for a seruant. 25If thou set thy seruant to labour, thou shalt finde rest: but if thou let him goe idle, he shall seeke libertie. 26A yoke and a collar doe bow the necke: so are tortures and torments for an euill seruant. 27Sende him to labour that hee be not idle: for idlenesse teacheth much euill.
