World English Bible Classic
[1] He who takes vengeance will find vengeance from the Lord,
and he will surely make his sins firm.
[2] Forgive your neighbor the hurt that he has done,
and then your sins will be pardoned when you pray.
[3] Does anyone harbor anger against another
and expect healing from the Lord?
[4] Upon a man like himself he has no mercy,
and does he make supplication for his own sins?
[5] He himself, being flesh, nourishes wrath.
Who will make atonement for his sins?
[6] Remember your last end, and stop enmity.
Remember corruption and death, and be true to the commandments.
[7] Remember the commandments, and don’t be angry with your neighbor.
Remember the covenant of the Highest, and overlook ignorance. [8] Abstain from strife, and you will diminish your sins,
for a passionate man will kindle strife.
[9] A man who is a sinner will trouble friends
and sow discord among those who are at peace.
[10] As is the fuel of the fire, so it will burn;
and as the stoutness of the strife is, so it will burn.
As is the strength of the man, so will be his wrath;
and as is his wealth, so he will exalt his anger.
[11] A contention begun in haste kindles a fire;
and hasty fighting sheds blood. [12] If you blow on a spark, it will burn;
and if you spit upon it, it will be quenched.
Both of these come out of your mouth. [13] Curse the whisperer and double-tongued,
for he has destroyed many who were at peace.
[14] A slanderer has shaken many,
and dispersed them from nation to nation.
It has pulled down strong cities
and overthrown the houses of great men.
[15] A slanderer has cast out brave women
and deprived them of their labors.
[16] He who listens to it will not find rest,
nor will he live quietly.
[17] The stroke of a whip makes a mark in the flesh,
but the stroke of a tongue will break bones.
[18] Many have fallen by the edge of the sword,
yet not so many as those who have fallen because of the tongue.
[19] Happy is he who is sheltered from it,
who has not passed through its wrath,
who has not drawn its yoke,
and has not been bound with its bands.
[20] For its yoke is a yoke of iron,
and its bands are bands of brass.
[21] Its death is an evil death,
and Hades is better than it.
[22] It will not have rule over godly men.
They will not be burned in its flame.
[23] Those who forsake the Lord will fall into it.
It will burn among them, and won’t be quenched.
It will be sent against them like a lion.
It will destroy them like a leopard.
[24] As you hedge your possession about with thorns,
and secure your silver and your gold,
[25] so make a balance and a weight for your words,
and make a door and a bar for your mouth.
[26] Take heed lest you slip with it,
lest you fall before one who lies in wait.
