Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 33:31

In 3 translations

KJV
If thou have a servant, entreat him as a brother: for thou hast need of him, as of thine own soul: if thou entreat him evil, and he run from thee, which way wilt thou go to seek him?
WEB33:32
If you have a slave, treat him like yourself, because you have bought him with blood. If you have a slave, treat him like yourself. For like your own soul, you will need him. If you treat him ill, and he departs and runs away, which way will you go to seek him?
DRC33:32
If thou have a faithful servant, let him be to thee as thy own soul: treat him as a brother: because in the blood of thy soul thou hast gotten him. If thou hurt him unjustly, he will run away: And if he rise up and depart, thou knowest not whom to ask, and in what way to seek him.
