Ecclesiasticus 37:28 Context

²⁵The days of the life of man may be numbered: but the days of Israel are innumerable. ²⁶A wise man shall inherit glory among his people, and his name shall be perpetual. ²⁷My son, prove thy soul in thy life, and see what is evil for it, and give not that unto it. ²⁸For all things are not profitable for all men, neither hath every soul pleasure in every thing. ²⁹Be not unsatiable in any dainty thing, nor too greedy upon meats: ³⁰For excess of meats bringeth sickness, and surfeiting will turn into choler. ³¹By surfeiting have many perished; but he that taketh heed prolongeth his life.
