Sirach 28:8-10
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
8 Refrain from strife, and your sins will be fewer;
for the hot-tempered kindle strife,
9 and the sinner disrupts friendships
and sows discord among those who are at peace.
10 In proportion to the fuel, so will the fire burn,
and in proportion to the obstinacy, so will strife increase;[a]
in proportion to a person’s strength will be his anger,
and in proportion to his wealth he will increase his wrath.
