Ben Sira 28:5

5 If a mere mortal harbors wrath, who will make an atoning sacrifice for his sins?

Ben Sira 28:5 In-Context

3 Does anyone harbor anger against another, and expect healing from the Lord?
4 If one has no mercy toward another like himself, can he then seek pardon for his own sins?
5 If a mere mortal harbors wrath, who will make an atoning sacrifice for his sins?
6 Remember the end of your life, and set enmity aside; remember corruption 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 faults.
