Sirach 27:30–28:7

Anger and Vengeance

30 Anger and wrath, these also are abominations,

yet a sinner holds on to them.

28 The vengeful will face the Lord’s vengeance,

for he keeps a strict account ofa 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.
