Sirach 11:32
King James VersionSource notes
“Of a spark of fire a heap of coals is kindled: and a sinful man layeth wait for blood.”
Context
29Bring not every man into thine house: for the deceitful man hath many trains.
30Like as a partridge taken and kept in a cage, so is the heart of the proud; and like as a spy, watcheth he for thy fall:
31For he lieth in wait, and turneth good into evil, and in things worthy praise will lay blame upon thee.
32Of a spark of fire a heap of coals is kindled: and a sinful man layeth wait for blood.
33Take heed of a mischievous man, for he worketh wickedness; lest he bring upon thee a perpetual blot.
34Receive a stranger into thine house, and he will disturb thee, and turn thee out of thine own.
