Sirach 31:18-20
Common English Bible
18 If you have been seated
with a lot of people,
don’t help yourself before they do.
19 A little food is more than enough
for well-educated people!
They won’t gasp for breath
when they lie down to sleep.
20 Healthy sleep depends
on not stuffing yourself.
Such people arise early and feel good.[a]
The gluttons suffer the pains of insomnia, nausea, and colic.
