Sir 28:9
King James Version
“A sinful man disquieteth friends, and maketh debate among them that be at peace.”
Context
6Remember thy end, and let enmity cease; corruption and death, and abide in the commandments.
7Remember the commandments, and bear no malice to thy neighbour: the covenant of the Highest, and wink at ignorance.
8Abstain from strife, and thou shalt diminish thy sins: for a furious man will kindle strife,
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.
11An hasty contention kindleth a fire: and an 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.
