22
Excel in all that you do; bring no stain upon your honor.
23
At the time when you end the days of your life, in the hour of death, distribute your inheritance.
24
Fodder and a stick and burdens for an ass; bread and discipline and work for a servant.
25
Set your slave to work, and you will find rest; leave his hands idle, and he will seek liberty.
26
Yoke and thong will bow the neck, and for a wicked servant there are racks and tortures.
