Ecclesiasticus 32:3 Context
1If thou be made the master (of the feast) lift not thy selfe vp, but bee among them as one of the rest, take diligent care for them, and so sit downe. 2And when thou hast done all thy office, take thy place that thou mayest be merry with them, and receiue a crowne for thy well ordering of the feast. 3Speake thou that art the elder, for it becometh thee, but with sound iudgement, and hinder not musicke. 4Powre not out words where there is a musitian, and shew not forth wisedome out of time. 5A consort of musicke in a banket of wine, is as a signet of Carbuncle set in gold.
