Sirach 28:11-13
Good News Translation
11 An argument that blazes out suddenly can lead to violence. 12 You can blow on a spark to make it glow, or you can spit on it to put it out. Either way, you do it with your mouth.
Vicious Talk
13 (A)Gossips and liars deserve to be cursed, because they have been the ruin of many people who were minding their own business.
