Ben Sira 28:1-7

1 He that revengeth shall find vengeance from the Lord, and He will surely keep his sins in remembrance.

2 Forgive thy neighbor the hurt that he hath done unto thee; so shall thy sins also be forgiven when thou prayest.

3 One man beareth hatred against another; and doth he seek pardon from the Lord?

4 He showeth no mercy to a man who is like himself; and doth he ask forgiveness of his own sins?

5 If he that is but flesh nourish hatred, who will entreat for pardon of his sins?

6 Remember thy end, and let enmity cease; remember corruption and death, and abide in the commandments.

7 Remember the commandments, and bear no malice toward thy neighbor; remember the covenant of the Highest, and overlook ignorance.
