Sirach 31:15

Listen to Sirach 31:15
15 Put yourself in your companion's place, and be considerate in everything.

Sirach 31:15 In-Context

13 Remember, a greedy eye is a bad thing. What has been created more greedy than the eye? For this reason, every face sheds tears.
14 Don't reach out your hand for whatever you see, and don't crowd your dinner companion by reaching into the same bowl.
15 Put yourself in your companion's place, and be considerate in everything.
16 Eat what's put in front of you like a normal human being, and don't chew rudely, or you will be hated.
17 Be the first to stop, to show your good breeding, and don't be gluttonous; otherwise, you will offend.
