    but love covers over all offenses.

¹⁰ The righteous knows the life^[a] of his animal,
    but the compassion^[b] of the wicked is cruel.

¹⁷ Better is a dinner of vegetables when^[a] love is there
    than a fattened ox and hatred with it.^[b]

    but he who waits on a matter will alienate a friend.

¹⁷ The friend loves at all times^[a],
    but a brother is born for adversity.
