He that revenges shall find vengeance from the Lord, and he will surely keep his sins in remembrance.
Forgive your neighbor the hurt that he has done to you, so shall your sins also be forgiven when you pray.
One man bears hatred against another, and does he seek pardon from the Lord?
He shows no mercy to a man, which is like himself: and does he ask forgiveness of his own sins?
If he that is but flesh nourish hatred, who will pray for pardon of his sins?
Remember your end, and let enmity cease; remember corruption and death, and remain in the commandments.
Remember the commandments, and bear no malice to your neighbor: remember the covenant of the Highest, and wink at ignorance.
Abstain from strife, and you shall diminish your sins: for a furious man will kindle strife,
A sinful man disquiets friends, and makes debate among them that are at peace.
As the matter of the fire is, so it burns: and as a man’s strength is, so is his wrath; and according to his riches his anger rises; and the stronger they are which contend, the more they will be inflamed.
A hasty contention kindles a fire: and a hasty fighting sheds blood.
If you blow the spark, it shall burn: if you spit upon it, it shall be quenched: and both these come out of your mouth.
Curse the whisperer and doubletongued: for such have destroyed many that were at peace.
A backbiting tongue has disquieted many, and driven them from nation to nation: strong cities has it pulled down, and overthrown the houses of great men.
A backbiting tongue has cast out virtuous women, and deprived them of their labors.
Whoever listens to it shall never find rest, and never dwell quietly.
The stroke of the whip makes marks in the flesh: but the stroke of the tongue breaks the bones.
Many have fallen by the edge of the sword: but not so many as have fallen by the tongue.
Well is he that is defended through its venom; who has not drawn its yoke, nor has been bound in her bands.
For its yoke is a yoke of iron, and its bands are bands of bronze.
Its death is an evil death, the grave were better than it.
It shall not have rule over them that fear God, neither shall they be burned with its flame.
Such as forsake the Lord shall fall into it; and it shall burn in them, and not be quenched; it shall be sent upon them as a lion, and devour them as a leopard.
Look that you hedge your possession about with thorns, and bind up your silver and gold,
And weigh your words in a balance, and make a door and bar for your mouth.
Beware that you do not slide by it, lest you fall before him that lies in wait.
