Ecclesiasticus 18:32

Ecclesiasticus 18:32 Context

²⁹They that were of understanding in sayings became also wise themselves, and poured forth exquisite parables. ³⁰Go not after thy lusts, but refrain thyself from thine appetites. ³¹If thou givest thy soul the desires that please her, she will make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies that malign thee. ³²Take not pleasure in much good cheer, neither be tied to the expence thereof. ³³Be not made a beggar by banqueting upon borrowing, when thou hast nothing in thy purse: for thou shalt lie in wait for thine own life, and be talked on.
