Sirach 33:29-31
Common English Bible
29 because idleness teaches many evils.
30 Set them to work, as is proper for them,
and if they don’t obey,
make their shackles heavy.
Don’t overburden a person
made of flesh,
and don’t do anything
without exercising good judgment.
31 If you have household slaves,
treat them like yourself,
because you purchased them with blood.
If you have household slaves,
treat them like siblings,
because you will need them
as you go through life.
