37Set him to work, as is fit for him: If he be not obedient, put on more heavy fetters.
38But be not excessive toward any; And without discretion do nothing.

40If thou have a servant, entreat him as a brother: For thou hast need of him, as of thine own soul: If thou entreat him evil, and he run from thee, Which way wilt thou go to seek him?
