Ben Sira 28:19

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

Ben Sira 28:19 In-Context

17 The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh, but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones.
18 Many have fallen by the edge of the sword, but not so many as have fallen by the tongue.
19 Well is he that is defended from it, and hath not passed through the venom thereof, who hath not drawn the yoke thereof, nor hath been bound in her bands.
20 For the yoke thereof is a yoke of iron, and the bands thereof are bands of brass.
21 The death thereof is an evil death; the grave were better than it.
