Sirach 31:30-31
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
30 Drunkenness increases the anger of fools to their own hurt,
reducing their strength and adding wounds.(A)
31 Do not reprove your neighbors at a banquet of wine,
and do not despise them in their merrymaking;
speak no word of reproach to them,
and do not distress them by making demands of them.(B)
