Ben Sira 37:25-30

25 A person's life has only a limited number of days, but the life of Israel cannot be measured in days at all.

26 The wise will win the confidence of others, and will be remembered forever.

27 My child, as you go through life, keep your appetite under control, and don't eat anything that you know is bad for you.

28 All food doesn't agree with everyone, and everyone doesn't like the same kinds of food.

29 Don't feel that you just have to have all sorts of fancy food, and don't be a glutton over any food.

30 If you eat too much, you'll get sick; if you do it all the time, you'll always have stomach trouble.
