Sirach 28:11-13
Revised Standard Version
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.
