Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 51:20

τὴν ψυχήν μου κατεύθυνα εἰς αὐτήν, καρδίαν ἐκτησάμην μετ᾿ αὐτῆς ἀπ᾿ ἀρχῆς καὶ ἐν καθαρισμῷ εὗρον αὐτήν, διὰ τοῦτο οὐ μὴ ἐγκαταλειφθῶ·
King James Version (KJV)

I directed my soul unto her, and I found her in pureness: I have had my heart joined with her from the beginning, therefore shall I not be forsaken.

Modern English

I set my soul toward her, and I found her in purity — I have kept my heart joined to her from the beginning, so I will not be forsaken.
