Sirach 27:30–28:7

30 Wrathl and anger, these also are abominations,

mAnd a sinful man clingeth to themm.

28 n oHe that taketh vengeanceo shall find vengeance from the Lord,

ooAnd his sins p(God) will surely keepp (in memory)oo.

ppForgive thy neighbour the injury (done to thee)pp,

qAnd then, when thou prayest, thy sins will be forgivenq.

Man cherisheth anger against another;

Andr doth he seek healing from Gods?

tOn a man like himself he hath no mercy;

And doth he make supplication for his own sinst?

He, being fleshu, vnourisheth wrathv;

Who will wmake atonementw for his sins?

Remember thy xlast endx, and cease from enmityy;.

(Remember) zcorruption and deathz, and aabide in the commandmentsa.

Remember the commandments, and be not wroth with thy neighbour;

And (remember) the covenant of the Most High, and boverlook ignorancebc.

(h) 28:8–12. Warnings against quarrelling

(= 2 + 2 + 2 distichs).
