Sirach 28:11-13
Common English Bible
11 A hasty quarrel sparks a fire,
and hasty conflict sheds blood.
12 If you blow on a spark, it will flame up,
and if you spit on it, it will go out;
nonetheless, both come out
of your mouth.
13 A curse on slanderers and the deceitful,[a]
because they have destroyed many
who are at peace.
