Sirach 28:8-10

Wycliffe Bible

⁸ Abstain thee from strife, and thou shalt decrease [or lessen], either abridge, (thy) sins. For why a wrathful man kindleth strife;

⁹ and a sinful man, that is, a sower of discords, shall disturb (or shall trouble) friends, and he shall send in enmity in the midst [or in the middle] of men having peace.

¹⁰ For why after the trees of the wood, so fire shall burn on high; and after the might of a man, so his wrathfulness shall be, and after his chattel he shall enhance his ire. [After forsooth the trees of the wood, so the fire burneth; and after the virtue of a man, so the wrath of him shall be, and after his substance he shall enhance his wrath.]
