He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
Quien encubre la falta de otra persona busca amor y reconciliación; pero quien sigue sacando a relucir una ofensa destruye hasta las amistades más cercanas.
Perdonar y no mencionar las faltas de otros fortalece las relaciones, mientras que recordar constantemente las ofensas las destruye.
