Sirach 28:19-21

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁹ Happy is one who is protected from it,
    who has not been exposed to its anger,
who has not borne its yoke,
    and has not been bound with its fetters.
²⁰ For its yoke is a yoke of iron,
    and its fetters are fetters of bronze;
²¹ its death is an evil death,
    and Hades is preferable to it.
