20 People who eat too much get stomach aches and cannot sleep. If you don't overeat, you can get a good night's sleep and wake up early the next morning feeling fine.

Ben Sira 31:20 In-Context

18 If there are many people present, don't try to be the first to be served.

19 A little bit is plenty for anyone with good manners. Besides, you won't be short of breath when you go to bed.

20 People who eat too much get stomach aches and cannot sleep. If you don't overeat, you can get a good night's sleep and wake up early the next morning feeling fine.

21 But if you do get a stomach ache from eating too much, go off and vomit and you will feel better.

22 My child, if you listen to what I am saying and put it into practice, one of these days you will thank me for it. Be moderate in everything you do, and you will never get sick.
