Sirach 28:8-10
Revised Standard Version
8 Refrain from strife, and you will lessen sins;
for a man given to anger will kindle strife,
9 and a sinful man will disturb friends
and inject enmity among those who are at peace.
10 In proportion to the fuel for the fire, so will be the burning,
and in proportion to the obstinacy of strife will be the burning;[a]
in proportion to the strength of the man will be his anger,
and in proportion to his wealth he will heighten his wrath.
