Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 27:20

μὴ αὐτὸν διώξῃς, ὅτι μακρὰν ἀπέστη καὶ ἐξέφυγεν ὡς δορκὰς ἐκ παγίδος.
King James Version (KJV)

Follow after him no more, for he is too far off; he is as a roe escaped out of the snare.

Modern English

Do not chase after him anymore, for he is gone too far — like a gazelle that has escaped a trap.
