Wisdom of Ben Sira 28:7-9
New Catholic Bible
7 Remember the commandments and do not bear ill-will toward your neighbor;
keep in mind the covenant of the Most High, and overlook faults.
Strife Disturbs Peace[a]
8 If you refrain from quarreling, your sins will be fewer,
for a hot-tempered man provokes strife.
9 A sinner disrupts friendships
and sows discord among those who are peacefully disposed.
