Sirach 31:12LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 12 of 42
"Art thou set at a great table? be not the first to open thy mouth upon it."
In context
10Who hath been tried thereby, and made perfect, he shall have glory everlasting. He that could have transgressed, and hath not transgressed: and could do evil things, and hath not done them:
11Therefore are his goods established in the Lord, and all the church of the saints shall declare his alms.
12Art thou set at a great table? be not the first to open thy mouth upon it.
13Say not: There are many things which are upon it.
14Remember that a wicked eye is evil.
