Sirach 31:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² Are you seated at the table of the great?^[a]
    Do not be greedy at it,
    and do not say, “How much food there is here!”
¹³ Remember that a greedy eye is a bad thing.
    What has been created more greedy than the eye?
    Therefore it sheds tears for any reason.
¹⁴ Do not reach out your hand for everything you see,
    and do not crowd your neighbor^[b] at the dish.
