Ecclesiasticus 18:31 Context
29They that were of vnderstanding in sayings, became also wise themselues, and powred forth exquisite parables. 30Goe not after thy lustes, but refraine thy selfe from thine appetites. 31If thou giuest thy soule the desires that please her, she will make thee a laughing stocke to thine enemies, that maligne thee. 32Take not pleasure in much good cheere, neither be tyed to the expence thereof. 33Be not made a begger by banquetting vpon borrowing, when thou hast nothing in thy purse, for thou shalt lie in waite for thy owne life: and be talked on.
