Sirach 31:14-16
Common English Bible
14 Don’t reach out your hand
for whatever you see,
and don’t crowd your dinner companion by reaching into the same bowl.
15 Put yourself in your companion’s place,
and be considerate in everything.
16 Eat what’s put in front of you
like a normal human being,[a]
and don’t chew rudely,
or you will be hated.
