1 Sir 32, 1 If thou be made the master [of a feast,] lift not thyself up, but be among them as one of the rest; take diligent care for them, and so sit down. 2 Sir 32, 2 And when thou hast done all thy office, take thy place, that thou mayest be merry with them, and receive a crown for thy well ordering of the feast. 3 Sir 32, 3 Speak, thou that art the elder, for it becometh thee, but with sound judgment; and hinder not musick. 4 Sir 32, 4 Pour not out words where there is a musician, and shew not forth wisdom out of time. 5 Sir 32, 5 A concert of musick in a banquet of wine is as a signet of carbuncle set in gold. 6 Sir 32, 6 As a signet of an emerald set in a work of gold, so is the melody of musick with pleasant wine. 7 Sir 32, 7 Speak, young man, if there be need of thee: and yet scarcely when thou art twice asked. 8 Sir 32, 8 Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words; be as one that knoweth and yet holdeth his tongue. 9 Sir 32, 9 If thou be among great men, make not thyself equal with them; and when ancient men are in place, use not many words. 10 Sir 32, 10 Before the thunder goeth lightning; and before a shamefaced man shall go favour. 11 Sir 32, 11 Rise up betimes, and be not the last; but get thee home without delay. 12 Sir 32, 12 There take thy pastime, and do what thou wilt: but sin not by proud speech. 13 Sir 32, 13 And for these things bless him that made thee, and hath replenished thee with his good things. 14 Sir 32, 14 Whoso feareth the Lord will receive his discipline; and they that seek him early shall find favour. 15 Sir 32, 15 He that seeketh the law shall be filled therewith: but the hypocrite will be offended thereat. 16 Sir 32, 16 They that fear the Lord shall find judgment, and shall kindle justice as a light. 17 Sir 32, 17 A sinful man will not be reproved, but findeth an excuse according to his will. 18 Sir 32, 18 A man of counsel will be considerate; but a strange and proud man is not daunted with fear, even when of himself he hath done without counsel. 19 Sir 32, 19 Do nothing without advice; and when thou hast once done, repent not. 20 Sir 32, 20 Go not in a way wherein thou mayest fall, and stumble not among the stones. 21 Sir 32, 21 Be not confident in a plain way. 22 Sir 32, 22 And beware of thine own children. 23 Sir 32, 23 In every good work trust thy own soul; for this is the keeping of the commandments. 24 Sir 32, 24 He that believeth in the Lord taketh heed to the commandment; and he that trusteth in him shall fare never the worse.
