Sirach 31:19-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 How ample a little is for the well-disciplined!
They do not breathe heavily when in bed.
20 Healthy sleep depends on moderate eating;
they rise early and feel fit.
The distress of sleeplessness and of nausea
and colic are with the glutton.(A)
21 If you are overstuffed with food,
get up to vomit, and you will have relief.
