Sirach 28:4

4 Can they refuse to have mercy on people like themselves, and then pray about their own sins?

Sirach 28:4 In-Context

2 Forgive your neighbor a wrong, and then, when you pray, your sins will be forgiven.
3 Can people hold on to their anger against others, and then look for healing from the Lord?
4 Can they refuse to have mercy on people like themselves, and then pray about their own sins?
5 If they, who are just flesh, hold on to anger, who will secure pardon for their own sins?
6 Be mindful of the end that awaits you, and put an end to enmity; be mindful of decay and death, and be faithful to the commandments.
