Sirach 9:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ And strive not with her over wine, lest thy heart decline towards her, and by thy blood thou fall into destruction.

¹⁴ Forsake not an old friend, for the new will not be like to him.

¹⁵ A new friend is as new wine: it shall grow old, and thou shalt drink it with pleasure.
