Sirach 31:17-19
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
17 Be the first to stop eating, for the sake of good manners,
and do not be insatiable, lest you give offense.
18 If you are seated among many persons,
do not reach out your hand before they do.
19 How ample a little is for a well-disciplined man!
He does not breathe heavily upon his bed.
