Proverbs 10:12

The Scriptures 2009

Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions.

See the chapter Copy

A man of wrath stirs up strife, But he who is patient appeases strife.

A man of Beliya‛al plots evil, And on his lips it is like a burning fire.

He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates intimate friends.

He who is greedy stirs up strife, But he who trusts in יהוה prospers.

A man of displeasure stirs up strife, And a master of rage has many a transgression.

For as milk under pressure brings forth curds, And as a nose under pressure brings forth blood, So wrath under pressure brings forth strife.

Where do fightings and strivings come from among you? Do they not come from your pleasures that battle in your members?

let him know that he who turns a sinner from the straying of his way shall save a life from death and cover a great number of sins.

And above all have fervent love for one another, because love covers a great number of sins.
