12 Have you been seatedat a magnificent table?Don’t be greedy as you sit there,and don’t say,"Look how much food there is!"

14 Don’t reach out your handfor whatever you see,and don’t crowd your dinner companion by reaching into the same bowl.
15 Put yourself in your companion’s place,and be considerate in everything.

17 Be the first to stop,to show your good breeding,and don’t be gluttonous;otherwise, you will offend.
