Sirach 28:8-10 World English Bible (WEB)

8. Abstain from strife, and you shall diminish your sins: For a passionate man will kindle strife;

9. And a man that is a sinner will trouble friends, And will make debate among them that be at peace.

10. As is the fuel of the fire, so will it burn; And as the stoutness of the strife is, so will it burn: As is the strength of the man, so will be his wrath; And as is his wealth, so will he exalt his anger.
