Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 36:25

οὗ οὐκ ἔστι φραγμός, διαρπαγήσεται κτῆμα, καὶ οὗ οὐκ ἔστι γυνή, στενάξει πλανώμενος.
King James Version (KJV)

Where no hedge is, there the possession is spoiled: and he that hath no wife will wander up and down mourning.

Modern English

Where there is no fence, property gets plundered; and whoever has no wife wanders about groaning.
