Deuteronomy 15:16-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
16 But if your slave says to you, ‘I don’t want to leave you,’ because he loves you and your family, and is well off with you, 17 take an awl and pierce through his ear into the door, and he will become your slave for life.

Then the Lord your God will bless you in everything you do.(A)
