4
He hath no mercy on a man like himself, and doth he entreat for his own sins?
5
He that is but flesh, nourisheth anger, and doth he ask forgiveness of God? who shall obtain pardon for his sins?
6
Remember thy last things, and let enmity cease:
7
For corruption and death hang over in his commandments.
8
Remember the fear of God, and be not angry with thy neighbour.
9
Remember the covenant of the most High, and overlook the ignorance of thy neighbour.
10
Refrain from strife, and thou shalt diminish thy sine:
11
For a passionate man kindleth strife, and a sinful man will trouble his friends, and bring in debate in the midst of them that are at peace.
12
For as the wood of the forest is, so the fire burneth: and as a man's strength is, so shall his anger be, and according to his riches he shall increase his anger.
13
A hasty contention kindleth a fire: and a hasty quarrel sheddeth blood: and a tongue that beareth witness bringeth death.
14
If thou blow the spark, it shall burn as a fire: and if thou spit upon it, it shall be quenched: both come out of the mouth.
