In context
8Abstain from strife, and thou shalt diminish thy sins: for a furious man will kindle strife,
9A sinful man disquieteth friends, and maketh debate among them that be at peace.
— Sirach 28:10 —
11An hasty contention kindleth a fire: and an hasty fighting sheddeth blood.
12If thou blow the spark, it shall burn: if thou spit upon it, it shall be quenched: and both these come out of thy mouth.
