Sirach 28:7-9

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁷Remember the commandments, and do not be angry with your neighbor;
remember the covenant of the Most High, and overlook ignorance.

⁸Refrain from strife, and you will lessen sins;
for a man given to anger will kindle strife,
⁹and a sinful man will disturb friends
and inject enmity among those who are at peace.
