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.
8
Refrain from strife, and you will lessen sins; for a man given to anger will kindle strife,
9
and a sinful man will disturb friends and inject enmity among those who are at peace.
10
In proportion to the fuel for the fire, so will be the burning, and in proportion to the obstinacy of strife will be the burning; in proportion to the strength of the man will be his anger, and in proportion to his wealth he will heighten his wrath.
