Sirach 32:5 In-Context

3 Speak, you who are older, for it's your privilege. But know what you're talking about, and don't interrupt the music.
4 Where there's a performance, don't talk too much, and don't be clever at the wrong time.
5 A musical performance at a wine party is like a ruby seal on a gold ornament.
6 Melodic music accompanying sweet wine is like an emerald seal in a setting of gold.
7 Speak, you who are young, if it's necessary, but only twice, and only if you are asked.
