Sirach 28:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵     If they, who are just flesh,
    hold on to anger,
    who will secure pardon
    for their own sins?
⁶ Be mindful of the end that awaits you,
and put an end to enmity;
    be mindful of decay and death,
    and be faithful to the commandments.
⁷ Be mindful of the commandments,
and don’t be irate at your neighbor;
    be mindful of the covenant of the
    Most High, and overlook a mistake.
