Sirach 33:26

Listen to Sirach 33:26
26 A yoke and a collar do bow the neck: so are tortures and torments for an evil servant.

Sirach 33:26 In-Context

24 Fodder, a wand, and burdens, are for the ass; and bread, correction, and work, for a servant.
25 If thou set thy servant to labour, thou shalt find rest: but if thou let him go idle, he shall seek liberty.
26 A yoke and a collar do bow the neck: so are tortures and torments for an evil servant.
27 Send him to labour, 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.
