37:27 Know your limits with food

27 My son, test your soul in your life.

See what is evil for it, and don’t give in to it.

28 Because not all things are profitable for all men.

Not every soul has pleasure in everything.

29 Don’t be insatiable in any luxury.

Don’t be greedy in the things that you eat.

30 Because overeating brings disease,

and gluttony causes nausea.

31 Because of gluttony, many have perished,

but he who takes heed shall prolong his life.

27 child, in/on/among the/this/who life you ⟦πείρασον⟧ the/this/who soul you, and look!
/to_perceive one/which?
evil/bad he/she/it/self, and not to_give he/she/it/self.
28 no for all all to_be_profitable, and no all soul in/on/among all to_delight.
29 not ⟦ἀπληστεύου⟧ in/on/among all self-indulgence, and not ⟦ἐκχυθῇς⟧ upon/to/against ⟦ἐδεσμάτων⟧; 30 in/on/among much for food to_be travail, and the/this/who ⟦ἀπληστία⟧ to_come_near until ⟦χολέρας⟧.
31 through/because_of ⟦ἀπληστίαν⟧ much ⟦ἐτελεύτησαν⟧, the/this/who but/and ⟦προσέχων⟧ ⟦προσθήσει⟧ life.
