Sirach 31:24-26

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁴ The city complains of the one who is stingy with food,
    and their testimony to his stinginess is accurate.

²⁵ Do not try to prove your strength by wine-drinking,
    for wine has destroyed many.
²⁶ As the furnace tests the work of the smith,^[a]
    so wine tests hearts when the insolent quarrel.
