Ecclesiasticus 31:20-24 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

20. Leave off first, for manners' sake: and exceed not, lest thou offend.

21. And if thou sittest among many, reach not thy hand out first of all: and be not the first to ask for drink.

22. How sufficient is a little wine for a man well taught, and in sleeping thou shalt not be uneasy with it, and thou shalt feel no pain.

23. Watching, and choler, and gripes, are with an intemperate man:

24. Sound and wholesome sleep with a moderate man: he shall sleep till morning, and his soul shall be delighted with him.
