Ben Sira 32:3

Listen to Ben Sira 32:3
3 Speak, you who are older, for it is fitting that you should, but with accurate knowledge, and do not interrupt the music.

Ben Sira 32:3 In-Context

1 If they make you master of the feast, do not exalt yourself; be among them as one of them; take good care of them and then be seated;
2 when you have fulfilled your duties, take your place, that you may be merry on their account and receive a wreath for your excellent leadership.
3 Speak, you who are older, for it is fitting that you should, but with accurate knowledge, and do not interrupt the music.
4 Where there is entertainment, do not pour out talk; do not display your cleverness out of season.
5 A ruby seal in a setting of gold is a concert of music at a banquet of wine.
