Sirach 28:12-14
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
The Evil Tongue
12 If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth.
13 Curse the whisperer and deceiver,
for he has destroyed many who were at peace.
14 Slander[a] has shaken many,
and scattered them from nation to nation,
and destroyed strong cities,
and overturned the houses of great men.
