1 Sir 31, 1 Watching for riches consumeth the flesh, and the care thereof driveth away sleep. 2 Sir 31, 2 Watching care will not let a man slumber, as a sore disease breaketh sleep, 3 Sir 31, 3 The rich hath great labour in gathering riches together; and when he resteth, he is filled with his delicates. 4 Sir 31, 4 The poor laboureth in his poor estate; and when he leaveth off, he is still needy. 5 Sir 31, 5 He that loveth gold shall not be justified, and he that followeth corruption shall have enough thereof. 6 Sir 31, 6 Gold hath been the ruin of many, and their destruction was present. 7 Sir 31, 7 It is a stumblingblock unto them that sacrifice unto it, and every fool shall be taken therewith. 8 Sir 31, 8 Blessed is the rich that is found without blemish, and hath not gone after gold. 9 Sir 31, 9 Who is he? and we will call him blessed: for wonderful things hath he done among his people. 10 Sir 31, 10 Who hath been tried thereby, and found perfect? then let him glory. Who might offend, and hath not offended? or done evil, and hath not done it? 11 Sir 31, 11 His goods shall be established, and the congregation shall declare his alms. 12 Sir 31, 12 If thou sit at a bountiful table, be not greedy upon it, and say not, There is much meat on it. 13 Sir 31, 13 Remember that a wicked eye is an evil thing: and what is created more wicked than an eye? therefore it weepeth upon every occasion. 14 Sir 31, 14 Stretch not thine hand whithersoever it looketh, and thrust it not with him into the dish. 15 Sir 31, 15 Judge not thy neighbour by thyself: and be discreet in every point. 16 Sir 31, 16 Eat as it becometh a man, those things which are set before thee; and devour note, lest thou be hated. 17 Sir 31, 17 Leave off first for manners' sake; and be not unsatiable, lest thou offend. 18 Sir 31, 18 When thou sittest among many, reach not thine hand out first of all. 19 Sir 31, 19 A very little is sufficient for a man well nurtured, and he fetcheth not his wind short upon his bed. 20 Sir 31, 20 Sound sleep cometh of moderate eating: he riseth early, and his wits are with him: but the pain of watching, and choler, and pangs of the belly, are with an unsatiable man. 21 Sir 31, 21 And if thou hast been forced to eat, arise, go forth, vomit, and thou shalt have rest. 22 Sir 31, 22 My son, hear me, and despise me not, and at the last thou shalt find as I told thee: in all thy works be quick, so shall there no sickness come unto thee. 23 Sir 31, 23 Whoso is liberal of his meat, men shall speak well of him; and the report of his good housekeeping will be believed. 24 Sir 31, 24 But against him that is a niggard of his meat the whole city shall murmur; and the testimonies of his niggardness shall not be doubted of. 25 Sir 31, 25 Shew not thy valiantness in wine; for wine hath destroyed many. 26 Sir 31, 26 The furnace proveth the edge by dipping: so doth wine the hearts of the proud by drunkeness. 27 Sir 31, 27 Wine is as good as life to a man, if it be drunk moderately: what life is then to a man that is without wine? for it was made to make men glad. 28 Sir 31, 28 Wine measurably drunk and in season bringeth gladness of the heart, and cheerfulness of the mind: 29 Sir 31, 29 But wine drunken with excess maketh bitterness of the mind, with brawling and quarrelling. 30 Sir 31, 30 Drunkenness increaseth the rage of a fool till he offend: it diminisheth strength, and maketh wounds. 31 Sir 31, 31 Rebuke not thy neighbour at the wine, and despise him not in his mirth: give him no despiteful words, and press not upon him with urging him [to drink.]
