Sirach 28:6-11 World English Bible (WEB)

6. Remember your last end, and cease from enmity: Remember corruption and death, and abide in the commandments.

7. Remember the commandments, and be not angry with your neighbor; And remember the covenant of the Highest, and wink at ignorance.

8. Abstain from strife, and you shall diminish your sins: For a passionate man will kindle strife;

9. And a man that is a sinner will trouble friends, And will make debate among them that be at peace.

10. As is the fuel of the fire, so will it burn; And as the stoutness of the strife is, so will it burn: As is the strength of the man, so will be his wrath; And as is his wealth, so will he exalt his anger.

11. A contention begun in haste kindles a fire; And a hasty fighting sheds blood.
