Ben Sira 31:17

17 Leave off first for manners' sake; and be not insatiable, lest thou offend.

Ben Sira 31:17 In-Context

15 Judge of thy neighbor by thyself, and be discreet in every point.

16 Eat, as it becometh a man, those things which are set before thee; and devour not, lest thou be hated.

17 Leave off first for manners' sake; and be not insatiable, 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 draweth not his wind short upon his bed.
