Sirach 31:10-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 Who has been tested by it and been found perfect?
Let it be for them a ground for boasting.
Who has had the power to transgress and did not transgress
and to do evil and did not do it?
11 Their prosperity will be established,[a]
and the assembly will proclaim their acts of charity.(A)
Table Etiquette
12 [b]Are you seated at the table of the great?[c]
Do not be greedy at it,
and do not say, “How much food there is here!”(B)
