9
A sinful man disquieteth friends, and maketh debate among them that be at peace.
10
As 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.
11
An hasty contention kindleth a fire: and an hasty fighting sheddeth blood.
12
If thou blow the spark, it shall burn: if thou spit upon it, it shall be quenched: and both these come out of thy mouth.
13
Curse the whisperer and doubletongued: for such have destroyed many that were at peace.
