Sirach 31:25

²³Whoso is liberal of his meat, men shall speak well of him; and the report of his good housekeeping will be believed.

²⁴But against him that is a niggard of his meat the whole city shall murmur; and the testimonies of his niggardness shall not be doubted of.

— Sirach 31:25 —

²⁶The furnace proveth the edge by dipping: so doth wine the hearts of the proud by drunkeness.

²⁷Wine is as good as life to a man, if it be drunk moderately: what life is then to a man that is without wine? for it was made to make men glad.
