Ben Sira 28:1-7

1 He that takes vengeance will suffer vengeance from the Lord, and he will firmly establish his sins.

2 Forgive your neighbor the wrong he has done, and then your sins will be pardoned when you pray.

3 Does a man harbor anger against another, and yet seek for healing from the Lord?

4 Does he have no mercy toward a man like himself, and yet pray for his own sins?

5 If he himself, being flesh, maintains wrath, who will make expiation for his sins?

6 Remember the end of your life, and cease from enmity, remember destruction and death, and be true to the commandments.

7 Remember the commandments, and do not be angry with your neighbor; remember the covenant of the Most High, and overlook ignorance.
