Ben Sira 32:11

11 Leave in good time and do not be the last; go home quickly and do not linger.

Ben Sira 32:11 In-Context

9 Among the great do not act as their equal; and when another is speaking, do not babble.
10 Lightning speeds before the thunder, and approval precedes a modest man.
11 Leave in good time and do not be the last; go home quickly and do not linger.
12 Amuse yourself there, and do what you have in mind, but do not sin through proud speech.
13 And for these things bless him who made you and satisfies you with his good gifts.
