¹² Hatred stirs up strife,
    but love covers all offenses.

¹⁰ A righteous man has regard for the life of his beast,
    but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.

¹⁷ Better is a dinner of herbs where love is
    than a fatted ox and hatred with it.

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

¹⁷ A friend loves at all times,
    and a brother is born for adversity.

⁵ Better is open rebuke
    than hidden love.
