Sirach 27:30–28:7
27:30 Wrath and anger, these also are abominations, And a sinful man clingeth to them.
28:1 He that taketh vengeance shall find vengeance from the Lord,
And his sins (God) will surely keep (in memory.)
2 Forgive thy neighbour the injury (done to thee)
And then, when thou prayest, thy sins will be forgiven.
3 Man cherisheth anger against another;
And doth he seek healing from Gods?
4 On a man like himself he hath no mercy;
And doth he make supplication for his own sins?
5 He, being flesh, nourisheth wrath;
Who will make atonement for his sins?
6 Remember thy last end, and cease from enmity;
(Remember) corruption and death, and abide in the commandments.
7 Remember the commandments, and be not wroth with thy neighbour;
And (remember) the covenant of the Most High, and overlook ignorance.
