Sirach 33:25LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 25 of 33
"Fodder, and a wand, and a burden are for an ass: bread, and correction, and work for a slave."
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.
