Proverbs 17:9
Berean Standard Bible
Whoever conceals an offense promotes love, but he who brings it up separates friends.
Context
7Eloquent words are unfit for a fool;
how much worse are lying lips to a ruler! 8A bribe is a charm to its giver;
wherever he turns, he succeeds. 9Whoever conceals an offense promotes love,
but he who brings it up separates friends. 10A rebuke cuts into a man of discernment
deeper than a hundred lashes cut into a fool. 11An evil man seeks only rebellion;
a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
