Sirach 28:8-10
Common English Bible
8 Keep away from conflict,
and you will reduce your sins;
for hot-tempered people spark conflict.
9 Sinful people will stir up trouble for friends,
and they spread slander
among people who are at peace.
10 A fire burns in proportion to its fuel,
and conflict increases
the longer it continues.
The more powerful individuals are,
the stronger their anger will be;
and the wealthier they are,
the more their wrath will increase.
