Ben Sira 33:25-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
25 Fodder and whip and loads for a donkey;
food, correction and work for a slave.
26 Make a slave work, and he will look for rest;
let his hands be idle and he will seek to be free.(A)
27 The yoke and harness will bow the neck;
and for a wicked slave, punishment in the stocks.
