Ben Sira 33:29

29 Do not act immoderately toward anybody, and do nothing without discretion.

Ben Sira 33:29 In-Context

27 Put him to work, that he may not be idle, for idleness teaches much evil.

28 Set him to work, as is fitting for him, and if he does not obey, make his fetters heavy.

29 Do not act immoderately toward anybody, and do nothing without discretion.

30 If you have a servant, let him be as yourself, because you have bought him with blood.

31 If you have a servant, treat him as a brother, for as your own soul you will need him. If you ill-treat him, and he leaves and runs away, which way will you go to seek him?
