In context
1If thou be made the master of a feast, lift not thyself up, But be among them as one of the rest; Take diligent care for them, and so sit down.
2And when thou hast done all thy office, take thy place, That thou mayest be merry with them, And receive a crown for thy well ordering of the feast.
— Sirach 35:3 —
4Pour not out words where there is a musician, And show not forth wisdom out of time.
5A concert of music in a banquet of wine Is as a signet of carbuncle set in gold.
