In context
6Remember thy end, and let thy enmity cease; Remember corruption and death, and abide in the commandments.
7Remember the commandments, and bear no malice to thy neighbor: Remember the covenant of the Highest, and wink at ignorance.
— Sirach 28:8 —
9A sinful man disquieteth friends, And maketh debate among them that be at peace.
10As the matter of the fire is, so it burneth: And as a man’s strength is, so is his wrath; And according to his riches his anger riseth; And the stronger they are which contend, the more they will be inflamed.
