Sirach 28:9-11
Common English Bible
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.
11 A hasty quarrel sparks a fire,
and hasty conflict sheds blood.
