Sirach 33:25-27

Wycliffe Bible

²⁵ He worketh in, or under, chastising, and seeketh to have rest; slake or slack thou (thine) hands to him, and he seeketh freedom.

²⁶ A yoke and bridle bow down an hard neck; and busy workings bow down a servant. Torment and stocks to (or for) an evil-willed servant;

²⁷ send thou him into working, lest he be idle; for why idleness hath taught much malice.
