1 He that takes vengeance will suffer vengeance from the Lord,

and he will firmly establisho his sins.

2 Forgive your neighbor the wrong he has done,

and then your sins will be pardoned when you pray.

3 Does a man harbor anger against another,

and yet seek for healing from the Lord?

4 Does he have no mercy toward a man like himself,

and yet pray for his own sins?

5 If he himself, being flesh, maintains wrath,

who will make expiation for his sins?

6 Remember the end of your life, and cease from enmity,

remember destruction 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 ignorance.
