1 If they have appointed youas the banquet leader,don’t think too much of yourself;behave toward themas if you were one of them.Take care of their needsand then sit down.
2 When you have doneeverything necessary, recline,so that you can have fun with them,and because of your excellent behavioryou will receive a wreath.
3 Speak, you who are older,for it’s your privilege.But know what you’re talking about,and don’t interrupt the music.
4 Where there’s a performance,don’t talk too much,and don’t be clever at the wrong time.
5 A musical performance at a wine partyis like a ruby seal on a gold ornament.
6 Melodic music accompanying sweet wineis like an emerald sealin a setting of gold.
