Sirach 33:25-27

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁵ Set your slave to work, and you will find rest;
    leave his hands idle, and he will seek liberty.
²⁶ Yoke and thong will bow the neck,
    and for a wicked servant there are racks and tortures.
²⁷ Put him to work, that he may not be idle,
    for idleness teaches much evil.
