⁹ He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends.

⁹ He who forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter alienates a friend.

⁹ He who conceals a transgression seeks love , But he who repeats a matter separates intimate friends .

⁹ He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; But he that harpeth on a matter separateth chief friends.
