Sirach 31:19-21

Good News Translation

     ¹⁹ A little bit is plenty for anyone with good manners. Besides, you won't be short of breath when you go to bed. ²⁰ People who eat too much get stomach aches and cannot sleep. If you don't overeat, you can get a good night's sleep and wake up early the next morning feeling fine. ²¹ But if you do get a stomach ache from eating too much, go off and vomit^[a] and you will feel better.
