One who seeks love conceals an offense, but one who repeats it divides friends.
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; But he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats or harps on a matter separates even close friends.
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; But he that harpeth on a matter separateth chief friends.
Whoever conceals an offense seeks friendships. Whoever repeats the words of another separates allies.
He that concealeth a transgression, seeketh friendships: he that repeateth it again, separateth friends.
