    Liber Ecclesiasticus

    Sirach

    30

    Ante ignem camini vapor et fumus ignis inaltatur: sic et ante sanguinem maledicta, et contumeliæ, et minæ.

    As the vapour of a chimney, and the smoke of the fire goeth up before the fire: so also injurious words, and reproaches, and threats, before blood.

    Ante igni de camena vapore et fumo de igni inalta: sic et ante sanguine maledice, et de contumelia, et minas.
