Ben Sira 31:16

16 Eat, as it becometh a man, those things which are set before thee; and devour not, lest thou be hated.

Ben Sira 31:16 In-Context

14 Stretch not thine hand whithersoever it looketh, and thrust it not with him into the dish.

15 Judge of thy neighbor by thyself, and be discreet in every point.

16 Eat, as it becometh a man, those things which are set before thee; and devour not, lest thou be hated.

17 Leave off first for manners' sake; and be not insatiable, lest thou offend.

18 When thou sittest among many, reach not thine hand out first of all.
