Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 28:19

μακάριος ὁ σκεπασθεὶς ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς, ὃς οὐ διῆλθεν ἐν τῷ θυμῷ αὐτῆς, ὃς οὐχ εἵλκυσε τὸν ζυγὸν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐν τοῖς δεσμοῖς αὐτῆς οὐκ ἐδέθη·
King James Version (KJV)

Well is he that is defended from it, and passed through the venom thereof; who hath not drawn the yoke thereof, nor hath been bound in her bands.

Modern English

Happy is the one shielded from it, who has never felt its venom, who has never carried its yoke or been bound by its chains.
