Sirach 27:30-28:7

Anger and Vengeance


30Anger 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.
2Forgive your neighbour the wrong he has done,
   and then your sins will be pardoned when you pray.
3Does anyone harbour anger against another,
   and expect healing from the Lord?
4If someone has no mercy towards another like himself,
   can he then seek pardon for his own sins?
5If a mere mortal harbours wrath,
   who will make an atoning sacrifice for his sins?
6Remember the end of your life, and set enmity aside;
   remember corruption and death, and be true to the commandments.
7Remember the commandments, and do not be angry with your neighbour;
   remember the covenant of the Most High, and overlook faults.
