Sirach 31:18-20
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
18 If you are seated among many others,
do not help yourself[a] before they do.
19 How ample a little is for a well-disciplined person!
He does not breathe heavily when in bed.
20 Healthy sleep depends on moderate eating;
he rises early, and feels fit.
The distress of sleeplessness and of nausea
and colic are with the glutton.
