Sirach 28:6-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. Remember your very end, and let animosities cease.

7. For corruption and death are suspended over his commandments.

8. Remember the fear of God, and do not be angry with your neighbor.

9. Remember the covenant of the Most High, and overlook the ignorant offenses of your neighbor.

10. Refrain from strife, and you will diminish your sins.

11. For a ill-tempered man enflames conflict, and a sinful man troubles his friends, and he casts hostility into the midst of those who have peace.
