1 Those who are vengefulwill suffer the Lord’s vengeance,because the Lord keeps strict countof their sins.
2 Forgive your neighbor a wrong,and then, when you pray,your sins will be forgiven.
3 Can people hold on to their angeragainst others, and then look for healing from the Lord?
4 Can they refuse to have mercyon people like themselves,and then pray about their own sins?
5 If they, who are just flesh,hold on to anger,who will secure pardonfor their own sins?
