Ben Sira 31:22

22 My son, hear me and despise me not, and at the last thou shalt find as I told thee. In all thy works be quick; so shall there no sickness come unto thee.

Ben Sira 31:22 In-Context

20 Sound sleep cometh of moderate eating: he riseth early, and his wits are with him; but the pain of wakefulness and ill temper and pangs of the belly, are with an insatiable man.
21 And if thou hast been forced to eat, arise, go forth, vomit, and thou shalt have rest.
22 My son, hear me and despise me not, and at the last thou shalt find as I told thee. In all thy works be quick; so shall there no sickness come unto thee.
23 Whoso is liberal with his meat, men shall speak well of him; and the report of his good housekeeping will be believed.
24 But against him that is a niggard with his meat the whole city shall murmur, and the testimonies of his niggardliness shall not be doubted.
