Sirach 31:14-16
Wycliffe Bible
14 Stretch thou not forth first thine hand; and thou defouled by envy, be ashamed. Be thou not oppressed of (or by) wine in a feast. [Not stretch thou out thine hand rather (or first); and by envy defouled, thou shame. Not be thou thrust together in the feast with wine.]
15 Understand of thyself the things, that be of thy neighbour. [Understand what be of thy neighbour, of thyself.]
16 Use thou as a discreet and temperate man these things that be set forth to thee; and (so) be thou not hated, when thou eatest (too) much. [Use as a temperate man these things that be laid to thee; and not when thou eatest, much to hate thou be had.]
