Ben Sira 37:25-31

25 The days of the life of man may be numbered, but the days of Israel are innumerable.
26 A wise man shall inherit glory among his people, and his name shall be perpetual.
27 My son, prove thy soul in thy life and see what is evil for it, and give not that unto it.
28 For all things are not profitable for all men, neither hath every soul pleasure in every thing.
29 Be not insatiable in any dainty thing, nor too greedy for meats;
30 for excess of meats bringeth sickness, and surfeiting will turn into ill temper.
31 By surfeiting have many perished, but he that taketh heed prolongeth his life.
