Sirach 32:1-2

Revised Standard Version

Etiquette at a Banquet

32 If they make you master of the feast, do not exalt yourself;
    be among them as one of them;
take good care of them and then be seated;
²    when you have fulfilled your duties, take your place,
that you may be merry on their account
    and receive a wreath for your excellent leadership.
