And if the servant really say: I have loved my lord, my wife, and my sons -- I do not go out free;
Lo, as eyes of men-servants Are unto the hand of their masters, As eyes of a maid-servant Are unto the hand of her mistress, So are our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He doth favour us.
A wise servant ruleth over a son causing shame, And in the midst of brethren He apportioneth an inheritance.
As a vessel of snow in a day of harvest, So is a faithful ambassador to those sending him, And the soul of his masters he refresheth.
The keeper of a fig-tree eateth its fruit, And the preserver of his master is honoured.
'Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his lord did set over his household, to give them the nourishment in season?
