2. Forgive your neighbor the wrong done to you;then when you pray, your own sins will be forgiven.
3. Does anyone nourish anger against anotherand expect healing from the Lord?
4. Can one refuse mercy to a sinner like oneself,yet seek pardon for one’s own sins?
5. If a mere mortal cherishes wrath,who will forgive his sins?
6. Remember your last days and set enmity aside;remember death and decay, and cease from sin!
7. Remember the commandments and do not be angry with your neighbor;remember the covenant of the Most High, and overlook faults.
8. Avoid strife and your sins will be fewer,for the hot-tempered kindle strife;
9. The sinner disrupts friendshipsand sows discord among those who are at peace.
10. The more the wood, the greater the fire,the more the cruelty, the fiercer the strife;The greater the strength, the sterner the anger,the greater the wealth, the greater the wrath.
11. Pitch and resin make fire flare up,and a hasty quarrel provokes bloodshed.
12. If you blow on a spark, it turns into flame,if you spit on it, it dies out;yet both you do with your mouth!
