Chapter X.—Duties of masters and servants. Ye masters, do not treat your servants with haughtiness, but imitate patient Job, who declares, “I did not despise771 the cause772 of my man-servant, or of my maid-servant, when they contended with me. For what in that case shall I do when the Lord makes an inquisition regarding me?”773 And you know what follows. Ye servants, do not provoke your masters to anger in anything, lest ye become the authors of incurable mischiefs to yourselves. 771 Literally, “If I did despise.” 772 Or, “judgment.” 773 Job xxxi. 13, 14.
