"The yoke and the thong bend a stiff neck, and continual labours bow a slave."
Sirach 33:27

En contexte

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.

28Torture and fetters are for a malicious slave: send him to work, that he be not idle:

29For idleness hath taught much evil.
