16 You should not extend your hand first, for then, having been corrupted by envy, you would be ashamed.
17 You should not press forward at a feast.
18 Understand which things are your neighbor's and not your own.
19 Make use of the things that are set before you, just as a frugal man would. Otherwise, if you eat much, you will be hated.
20 Cease eating first, for the sake of discipline. And do not eat to excess, lest you offend.
