Sirach 32

Etiquette at a Banquet

"If they make you master of the feast, do not exalt yourself;be among them as one of them;take good care of them and then be seated;"
"when you have fulfilled your duties, take your place,that you may be merry on their accountand receive a wreath for your excellent leadership."
"Speak, you who are older, for it is fitting that you should,but with accurate knowledge, and do not interrupt the music."
