1
The vengeful will face the Lord's vengeance, for he keeps a strict account of their sins.
2
Forgive your neighbor the wrong he has done, and then your sins will be pardoned when you pray.
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.
8
Refrain from strife, and your sins will be fewer; for the hot-tempered kindle strife,
9
and the sinner disrupts friendships and sows discord among those who are at peace.
