Ecclesiasticus 31:19 Context
17Leaue off first for maners sake, and be not vnsatiable, lest thou offend. 18When thou sittest among many, reach not thine hand out first of all. 19A very litle is sufficient for a man well nurtured, and he fetcheth not his wind short vpon his bed. 20Sound sleepe commeth of moderate eating: he riseth early, and his wits are with him, but the paine of watching and choller, and pangs of the bellie are with an vnsatiable man. 21And if thou hast bin forced to eate, arise, goe forth, vomit, and thou shalt haue rest.
