22. For it is better if your children petition you, than if you look toward the hands of your children.
23. In all your works, be pre-eminent.
24. You should not allow a blemish upon your glory. On the day of the consummation of the days of your life, at the time of your passing, distribute your inheritance.
25. Fodder and a rod and a burden are for a donkey; bread and discipline and work are for a servant.

28. Torture and chains are for a malevolent servant; send him to work, so that he may not be idle.
29. For idleness has taught much evil.
