Sirach 27:30-28:7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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 of^[a] 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.
