    Ben Sirach 27:30-28:7
    New Revised Standard Version,
    Anglicised Catholic Edition

    Anger and Vengeance

    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 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.
