Sirach 31:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

17 Be the first to stop, as befits good manners,
    and do not be insatiable, or you will give offense.
18 If you are seated among many persons,
    do not help yourself[a] before they do.(A)

19 How ample a little is for the well-disciplined!
    They do not breathe heavily when in bed.
