12 When you sit down at a fancy banquet, don't let your mouth hang open, and don't say, “Look at all that food!”
13 It is impolite to have a greedy eye; remember that. Nothing in creation is greedier than the eye; that is why it sheds tears so often.
14 Don't reach out for everything you see, and don't elbow people out of the way to get at the food.
15 Be considerate of the other people at the table and treat them the way you want to be treated.
16 When you get your food, eat it like a human being. Don't smack your lips and slurp; nobody can stand that.
17 It's good manners to be the first to stop eating; stuffing yourself is offensive.
18 If there are many people present, don't try to be the first to be served.
