Sirach 28:11DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 11 of 30
"For a passionate man kindleth strife, and a sinful man will trouble his friends, and bring in debate in the midst of them that are at peace."
In context
9Remember the covenant of the most High, and overlook the ignorance of thy neighbour.
10Refrain from strife, and thou shalt diminish thy sins:
11For a passionate man kindleth strife, and a sinful man will trouble his friends, and bring in debate in the midst of them that are at peace.
12For as the wood of the forest is, so the fire burneth: and as a man’s strength is, so shall his anger be, and according to his riches he shall increase his anger.
13A hasty contention kindleth a fire: and a hasty quarrel sheddeth blood: and a tongue that beareth witness bringeth death.
