22. In all your works keep the upper hand; Bring not a stain on your honor.
23. In the day that you endest the days of your life, And in the time of death, distribute your inheritance.
24. Fodder, a stick, and burdens, for an ass; Bread, and discipline, and work, for a servant.
25. Set your servant to work, and you shall find rest: Leave his hands idle, and he will seek liberty.
26. Yoke and thong will bow the neck: And for an evil servant there are racks and tortures.
27. Send him to labor, that he be not idle; For idleness teaches much mischief.
28. Set him to work, as is fit for him; And if he obey not, make his fetters heavy.
29. And be not excessive toward any; And without judgement do nothing.
30. If you have a servant, let him be as yourself, Because you have bought him with blood.
