Ben Sira 33:32

32 If you ill-treat him, and he leaves you and runs away,

Ben Sira 33:32 In-Context

30 Set him to work, as is fitting for him, and if he does not obey, make his fetters heavy. Do not be overbearing toward anyone, and do nothing unjust.

31 If you have but one slave, treat him like yourself, because you have bought him with blood. If you have but one slave, treat him like a brother, for you will need him as you need your life.

32 If you ill-treat him, and he leaves you and runs away,

33 which way will you go to seek him?
