Ben Sira 33:26

26 A yoke and a collar do bow the neck; so are tortures and torments for an evil servant.

Ben Sira 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 labor, 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 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.
