Sirach 31:17-19

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁷ Cease thou first because of learning, either nurture; and do not thou be outrageous, lest peradventure thou offend. [Cease rather (or first) because of discipline; and do thou not be too much, lest peradventure thou offend.]

¹⁸ And if thou hast set in the midst [or in the middle] of many men, stretch not forth [or not stretch thou out] thine hand sooner than they; and ask thou not first for to drink.

¹⁹ A little wine is full(y) sufficient to a learned man; and in sleeping thou shalt not travail for that wine, and thou shalt not feel travail.
