In context
33Fodder, a stick, and burdens, are for the ass; And bread, correction, and work, for a servant.
34If thou set thy servant to labor, thou shalt find rest: But if thou let him go idle, he will seek liberty.
— Sirach 30:35 —
36Send him to labor, that he be not idle; For idleness teacheth much evil.
37Set him to work, as is fit for him: If he be not obedient, put on more heavy fetters.
