Sirach 32:2-4

Common English Bible

² When you have done
everything necessary, recline,
so that you can have fun with them,
    and because of your excellent behavior
    you will receive a wreath.

³ Speak, you who are older,
for it’s your privilege.
    But know what you’re talking about,
    and don’t interrupt the music.
⁴ Where there’s a performance,
don’t talk too much,
    and don’t be clever at the wrong time.
