Hebrew translation:משקה השטן לא ישיגני
Explanation:
Thanks for the clarification - it definitely fits one of the common uses of "juice".

I chose to translate it as "drink" in Hebrew, which, as in English, means both a cold/hot drink, and an alcoholic one.

I also used a more poetic/biblical tone, which, I believe, may be relevant here, and shows Hebrew's amazing ability to be both concise and beautiful.

Explanation:
Meaning that I won't be at the devil's reach.

Maybe other will contribute some other ideas later on.
