Ben Sira 31:18

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

Ben Sira 31:18 In-Context

16 Eat as it becometh a man, those things which are set before thee; and devour note, lest thou be hated.
17 Leave off first for manners' sake; and be not unsatiable, lest thou offend.
18 When thou sittest among many, reach not thine hand out first of all.
19 A very little is sufficient for a man well nurtured, and he fetcheth not his wind short upon his bed.
20 Sound sleep cometh of moderate eating: he riseth early, and his wits are with him: but the pain of watching, and choler, and pangs of the belly, are with an unsatiable man.
