Proverbs 17:9

Hebrew Names version (HNV)

He who covers an offense promotes love; but he who repeats a matter separates best friends.

See the chapter Copy

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all wrongs.

A perverse man stirs up strife. A whisperer separates close friends.

A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding than a hundred lashes into a fool.

Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud,

let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.

And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.
