International Standard Version Like a hired servant, he is to remain with him year after year, but he is not to rule over him with what you see as severity.
American Standard Version As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him: he shall not rule with rigor over him in thy sight.
Young's Literal Translation as an hireling, year by year, he is with him, and he doth not rule him with rigour before thine eyes.
