Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 40:6

ὀλίγον ὡς οὐδὲν ἐν ἀναπαύσει, καὶ ἀπ᾿ ἐκείνου ἐν ὕπνοις ὡς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ σκοπιᾶς τεθορυβημένος ἐν ὁράσει καρδίας αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἐκπεφευγὼς ἀπὸ προσώπου πολέμου.
King James Version (KJV)

A little or nothing is his rest, and afterward he is in his sleep, as in a day of keeping watch, troubled in the vision of his heart, as if he were escaped out of a battle.

Modern English

He gets little or no rest at all, and even in sleep he is like someone standing watch, troubled by visions in his heart, as if he had just escaped a battle.
