Sirach 31:18-31
-
18 When thou sittest among many, reach not thine hand out first of all.
-
19 A very little is sufficient for a man well nurtured, and he fetcheth not his wind short upon his bed.
-
20 Sound sleep cometh of moderate eating: he riseth early, and his wits are with him: but the pain of watching, and choler, and pangs of the belly, are with an unsatiable man.
-
21 And if thou hast been forced to eat, arise, go forth, vomit, and thou shalt have rest.
-
22 My son, hear me, and despise me not, and at the last thou shalt find as I told thee: in all thy works be quick, so shall there no sickness come unto thee.
-
23 Whoso is liberal of his meat, men shall speak well of him; and the report of his good housekeeping will be believed.
-
24 But against him that is a niggard of his meat the whole city shall murmur; and the testimonies of his niggardness shall not be doubted of.
-
25 Shew not thy valiantness in wine; for wine hath destroyed many.
-
26 The furnace proveth the edge by dipping: so doth wine the hearts of the proud by drunkeness.
-
27 Wine is as good as life to a man, if it be drunk moderately: what life is then to a man that is without wine? for it was made to make men glad.
-
28 Wine measurably drunk and in season bringeth gladness of the heart, and cheerfulness of the mind:
-
29 But wine drunken with excess maketh bitterness of the mind, with brawling and quarrelling.
-
30 Drunkenness increaseth the rage of a fool till he offend: it diminisheth strength, and maketh wounds.
-
31 Rebuke not thy neighbour at the wine, and despise him not in his mirth: give him no despiteful words, and press not upon him with urging him [to drink.]
