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.
One who seeks love conceals an offense, but one who repeats it divides 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.
