Sirach 31:19-21
Common English Bible
19 A little food is more than enough
for well-educated people!
They won’t gasp for breath
when they lie down to sleep.
20 Healthy sleep depends
on not stuffing yourself.
Such people arise early and feel good.[a]
The gluttons suffer the pains of insomnia, nausea, and colic.
21 If you’ve overstuffed yourself,
get up, vomit far away,
and you will feel better.
