Ben Sira 33:28

28 Set him to work, as is fit for him; if he be not obedient, put on more heavy fetters.

Ben Sira 33:28 In-Context

26 A yoke and a collar do bow the neck; so are tortures and torments for an evil servant.
27 Send him to labor, that he be not idle, for idleness teacheth much evil.
28 Set him to work, as is fit for him; if he be not obedient, put on more heavy fetters.
29 But be not excessive toward any, and without discretion do nothing.
30 If thou have a servant, let him be unto thee as thyself, because thou hast bought him with a price.
