Sirach 32:1-3

1. 1 If thou be made the master [of a feast,] lift not thyself up, but be among them as one of the rest; take diligent care for them, and so sit down.

2. 2 And when thou hast done all thy office, take thy place, that thou mayest be merry with them, and receive a crown for thy well ordering of the feast.

3. 3 Speak, thou that art the elder, for it becometh thee, but with sound judgment; and hinder not musick.
