25. Fodder, and a wand, and a burden are for an ass: bread, and correction, and work for a slave.
26. He worketh under correction, and seeketh to rest: let his hands be idle, and he seeketh liberty.
27. The yoke and the thong bend a stiff neck, and continual labours bow a slave.
28. Torture and fetters are for a malicious slave: send him to work, that he be not idle:
29. For idleness hath taught much evil.
30. Set him to work: for so it is fit for him. And if he be not obedient, bring him down with fetters, but be not excessive towards any one: and do no grievous thing without judgment.
