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.
