37 ²⁷ My son, test your soul while you live;
see what is bad for it and do not give it that.
37 ²⁸ For not everything is good for every one,
and not every person enjoys everything.
37 ²⁹ Do not have an insatiable appetite for any luxury,
and do not give yourself up to food;
37 ³⁰ for overeating brings sickness,
and gluttony leads to nausea.
37 ³¹ Many have died of gluttony,
but he who is careful to avoid it prolongs his life.
