Sirach 33:31-33

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³¹ If thou have a faithful servant, let him be to thee as thy own soul: treat him as a brother: because in the blood of thy soul thou hast gotten him.

³² If thou hurt him unjustly, he will run away:

³³ And if he rise up and depart, thou knowest not whom to ask, and in what way to seek him.
