16 You should not extend your hand first, for then, having been corrupted by envy, you would be ashamed.
17 You should not press forward at a feast.
18 Understand which things are your neighbor's and not your own.
19 Make use of the things that are set before you, just as a frugal man would. Otherwise, if you eat much, you will be hated.
20 Cease eating first, for the sake of discipline. And do not eat to excess, lest you offend.
21 And if you sit in the midst of many, you should not extend your hand before they do, and you should not be the first to ask for a drink.
22 How sufficient is a little wine for a well-taught man! For in sleep, you will not labor because of it, and you will not feel pain.
