Ben Sira 31:14

14 Don't reach out for everything you see, and don't elbow people out of the way to get at the food.

Ben Sira 31:14 In-Context

12 When you sit down at a fancy banquet, don't let your mouth hang open, and don't say, "Look at all that food!"

13 It is impolite to have a greedy eye; remember that. Nothing in creation is greedier than the eye; that is why it sheds tears so often.

14 Don't reach out for everything you see, and don't elbow people out of the way to get at the food.

15 Be considerate of the other people at the table and treat them the way you want to be treated.

16 When you get your food, eat it like a human being. Don't smack and slurp; nobody can stand that.
