Sirach 18:30-32
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
Self-Control[a]
30 Do not follow your base desires,
but restrain your appetites.
31 If you allow your soul to take pleasure in base desire,
it will make you the laughing-stock of your enemies.
32 Do not revel in great luxury,
or you may become impoverished by its expense.
