28:1 He that revengeth shall find vengeance from the Lord, and he will surely keep his sins:

28:2 Forgive thy neighbour the hurt that he hath done unto thee, so shall thy sins also be forgiven when thou prayest:

28:3 One man beareth hatred against another, and doth he seek pardon from the Lord? KJV [4] He sheweth no mercy to a man, which is like himself: and doth he ask forgiveness of his own sins? KJV [5] If he that is but flesh nourish hatred, who will intreat for pardon of his sins:

28:6 Remember thy end, and let enmity cease:

28:7 corruption and death, and abide in the commandments. KJV [7] Remember the commandments, and bear no malice to thy neighbour:

28:9 the covenant of the Highest, and wink at ignorance:

28:10 Abstain from strife, and thou shalt diminish thy sins:

28:11 for a furious man will kindle strife, a sinful man disquieteth friends, and maketh debate among them that be at peace. KJV [10] As the matter of the fire is, so it burneth: and as a man' s strength is, so is his wrath; and according to his riches his anger riseth; and the stronger they are which contend, the more they will be inflamed. KJV [11] An hasty contention kindleth a fire: and an hasty fighting sheddeth blood:

28:17 strong cities hath it pulled down, and overthrown the houses of great men. KJV [15] A backbiting tongue hath cast out virtuous women, and deprived them of their labours:

28:20 Whoso hearkeneth unto it shall never find rest, and never dwell quietly. KJV [17] The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh: but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones:

28:22 Many have fallen by the edge of the sword: but not so many as have fallen by the tongue.
