Business life » Employees » Faithful
But if the servant plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife and my children; I will not leave as a free man,’
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master,
And as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He is gracious and favorable toward us.
A wise servant will rule over the [unworthy] son who acts shamefully and brings disgrace [to the family]
And [the worthy servant] will share in the inheritance among the brothers.
Like the cold of snow [brought from the mountains] in the time of harvest,
So is a faithful messenger to those who send him;
For he refreshes the life of his masters.
He who tends the fig tree will eat its fruit,
And he who faithfully protects and cares for his master will be honored.
Children » Children that cause shame
A wise servant will rule over the [unworthy] son who acts shamefully and brings disgrace [to the family]
