Sirach 31:15-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 Judge your neighbor’s feelings by your own,
and in every matter be thoughtful.(A)
16 Eat what is set before you like a well brought-up person,[a]
and do not chew greedily, or you will be despised.(B)
17 Be the first to stop, as befits good manners,
and do not be insatiable, or you will give offense.
