Sirach 27:30-28:7

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

28 The vengeful will face the Lord’s vengeance,
    for he keeps a strict account of^[a] their sins.^(A)
2 Forgive your neighbor the wrong he has done,
    and then your sins will be pardoned when you pray.^(B)
3 Does anyone harbor anger against another
    and expect healing from the Lord?^(C)
4 If people have no mercy toward those like themselves,
    can they then seek pardon for their own sins?
⁵ If mere mortals harbor wrath,
    who will make an atoning sacrifice for their sins?
⁶ Remember the end of your life and set enmity aside;
    remember corruption and death and be true to the commandments.^(D)
7 Remember the commandments and do not be angry with your neighbor;
    remember the covenant of the Most High and overlook faults.^(E)
