Ben Sira 32:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 Like a seal of carnelian in a setting of gold:
a concert of music at a banquet of wine.
6 A seal of emerald in a work of gold:
the melody of music with delicious wine.
7 Speak, young man, only when necessary,(A)
when they have asked you more than once.
