Sirach 18:29-32 World English Bible (WEB)

29. They that were of understanding in sayings became also wise themselves, And poured forth apt proverbs.

30. Go not after your lusts; And refrain yourself from your appetites.

31. If you give fully to your soul the delight of her desire, She will make you the laughing stock of your enemies.

32. Make not merry in much luxury; Neither be tied to the expense thereof.
