37:28. The life of a man is in the number of his days: but the days of Israel are innumerable.
37:29. A wise man shall inherit honour among his people, and his name shall live for ever.
37:30. My son, prove thy soul in thy life: and if it be wicked, give it no power:
37:31. For all things are not expedient for all, and every kind pleaseth not every soul.
37:32. Be not greedy in any feasting, and pour not out thyself upon any meat:
37:33. For in many meats there will be sickness, and greediness will turn to choler.
37:34. By surfeiting many have perished, but he that is temperate, shall prolong life.
