Be not unsatiable in any dainty thing, nor too greedy upon meats. Which verse is this?

• A. Sirach 37:16
• B. Sirach 31:19
• C. Sirach 28:2
• D. Sirach 37:29

Answer: (D)

The main idea is self-control in what we eat. This verse directly tells you not to be insatiable in any dainty thing and not to be too greedy with meats, teaching that true wisdom includes moderation and restraint in appetite. In Sirach, such concise sayings guide practical conduct—food should be enjoyed without letting it rule you, since excess can dull judgment and undermine virtue. The pairing of dainty things with meats makes the message clear and specific about avoiding gluttony, which is why this verse fits the idea so precisely. That’s why the verse is Sirach 37:29.
