Sirach 32:3-5

Common English Bible

³ Speak, you who are older,
for it’s your privilege.
    But know what you’re talking about,
    and don’t interrupt the music.
⁴ Where there’s a performance,
don’t talk too much,
    and don’t be clever at the wrong time.
⁵ A musical performance at a wine party
    is like a ruby seal on a gold ornament.
