In context
11A hasty contention kindleth a fire: And a 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.
— Sirach 28:13 —
14A backbiting tongue hath disquieted many, And driven them from nation to nation: Strong cities hath it pulled down, And overthrown the houses of great men.
15A backbiting tongue hath cast out virtuous women, And deprived them of their labors.
