Sirach 28:12-14
Common English Bible
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.
14 Slander[b] has shaken up many people,
scattered them from nation to nation,
demolished mighty cities,
and overthrown the houses
of dignitaries.
