Sirach 28:11-13
Revised Standard Version

11 A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
    and urgent strife sheds blood.

The Evil Tongue

12 If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
    if you spit on it, it will be put out;
    and both come out of your mouth.

13 Curse the whisperer and deceiver,
    for he has destroyed many who were at peace.
