Sirach 33:25DRA

Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 25 of 33

"Fodder, and a wand, and a burden are for an ass: bread, and correction, and work for a slave."
Sirach 33:25

In context

23In all thy works keep the pre-eminence.

24Let no stain sully thy glory. In the time when thou shalt end the days of thy life, and in the time of thy decease, distribute thy inheritance.

25Fodder, and a wand, and a burden are for an ass: bread, and correction, and work for a slave.

26He worketh under correction, and seeketh to rest: let his hands be idle, and he seeketh liberty.

27The yoke and the thong bend a stiff neck, and continual labours bow a slave.
