Sirach 37:25-30 World English Bible (WEB)

25. The life of man is counted by days; And the days of Israel are innumerable.

26. The wise man shall inherit confidence among his people, And his name shall live for ever.

27. My son, prove your soul in your life, And see what is evil for it, and give not that to it.

28. For all things are not profitable for all men, Neither has every soul pleasure in every thing.

29. Be not insatiable in any luxury, And be not greedy on the things that you eatest.

30. For in multitude of meats there shall be disease, And surfeiting shall come near to colic.
