Anger and Vengeance

³⁰ Anger and wrath, these also are abominations,
   yet a sinner holds on to them.

28The vengeful will face the Lord’s vengeance,
   for he keeps a strict account of^* their sins.
² Forgive your neighbour the wrong he has done,
   and then your sins will be pardoned when you pray.
³ Does anyone harbour anger against another,
   and expect healing from the Lord?
⁴ If someone has no mercy towards another like himself,
   can he then seek pardon for his own sins?
⁵ If a mere mortal harbours 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 neighbour;
   remember the covenant of the Most High, and overlook faults.
