Sirach 28:12-14 World English Bible (WEB)

12. If you blow a spark, it shall burn; And if you spit upon it, it shall be quenched: And both these shall come out of your mouth.

13. Curse the whisperer and double-tongued: For he has destroyed many that were at peace.

14. A third person’s tongue has shaken many, And dispersed them from nation to nation; And it has pulled down strong cities, And overthrown the houses of great men.
