Sirach 28:11-13

Wycliffe Bible

¹¹ Hasty striving shall kindle fire, and hasty chiding shall shed out blood; and a tongue bearing witnessing shall bring death. [An hasted strife shall tend fire, and hasting chiding shed out blood; and a tongue witnessing shall bring to death.]

¹² If thou blowest, as fire it shall burn on high; and if thou spittest thereon, it shall be quenched; ever either, that is, a word kindling ire, and a word refraining it, come forth (out) of the mouth. [If it shall blow, as fire it shall burn; and if thou shalt spit upon it, it shall be quenched; either from the mouth go forth.]

¹³ A privy backbiter, and a double-tongued man, yea, he that speaketh fair before a man, and evil behind him, is cursed; for he disturbed (or troubled) many men having peace. [The whispering grudger (or grumbler), and the twisel tongue (is) cursed; forsooth many having peace he disturbed.]
