Sirach 37:27-29
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Concerning Moderation

27 My child, test yourself while you live;
    see what is bad for you, and do not give in to it.
28 For not everything is good for everyone,
    and no one enjoys everything.(A)
29 Do not be greedy for every delicacy,
    and do not eat without restraint,(B)
