9 Whoever ¹covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter ²separates close friends.

10 A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool.

11 An evil man seeks only rebellion, and ³a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

12 Let a man meet ⁴a she-bear robbed of her cubs ⁵rather than a fool in his folly.

13 If anyone ⁶returns evil for good, ⁷evil will not depart from his house.

14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so ⁸quit before the quarrel breaks out.

15 He who ⁹justifies the wicked and he who ¹⁰condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the LORD.

16 Why should a fool have money in his hand ¹¹to buy wisdom when he has no sense?

17 ¹²A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

18 One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.

19 Whoever loves transgression loves strife; he who ¹³makes his door high seeks destruction.

Proverbios 17:9 El que cubre una falta busca afecto, pero el que repite el asunto separa a los mejores amigos.

9 El que cubre la prevaricación, busca el amor; mas el que reitera el asunto, aparta los amigos

9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

9 He who covers a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates friends.

Proverbios 17:9 Cuando se perdona una falta, el amor florece,
pero mantenerla presente separa a los amigos íntimos.

9 El que perdona la ofensa cultiva el amor;el que insiste en la ofensa divide a los amigos.

9 El que cubre la prevaricación, busca amistad: Mas el que reitera la palabra, aparta al amigo.

9 El que cubre la prevaricación, busca el amor; mas el que reitera el asunto, aparta los amigos.
