¹² Hatred stirreth up strifes;
But love covereth all transgressions.

¹⁰ A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast;
But the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

¹⁷ Better is a ^[a]dinner of herbs, where love is,
Than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.

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

¹⁷ A friend loveth at all times;
And ^[a]a brother is born for adversity.

⁵ Better is open rebuke
Than love that is hidden.
