In context
35A yoke and a collar do bow the neck: So are tortures and torments for an evil servant.
36Send him to labor, that he be not idle; For idleness teacheth much evil.
— Sirach 30:37 —
38But be not excessive toward any; And without discretion do nothing.
39If thou have a servant, let him be unto thee as thyself, Because thou hast bought him with a price.
