Ben Sira 37:28-30
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
28 For not everything is good for everyone,
nor is everything suited to every taste.(A)
29 Do not go to excess with any enjoyment,(B)
neither become a glutton for choice foods;
30 For sickness comes with overeating,
and gluttony brings on nausea.
