Sirach 31:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
17 Be the first to stop, as befits good manners,
and do not be insatiable, or you will give offense.
18 If you are seated among many persons,
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.
