Holman Christian Standard Bible
Whoever conceals an offense promotes love, but whoever gossips about it separates friends.

New American Standard Bible
He who conceals a transgression seeks love, But he who repeats a matter separates intimate friends.

King James Bible
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth [very] friends. International Standard Version
Anyone who overlooks an offense promotes love, but someone who gossips separates close friends.

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

Young's Literal Translation
Whoso is covering transgression is seeking love, And whoso is repeating a matter Is separating a familiar friend.Proverbs 17:9 • Proverbs 17:9 NIV • Proverbs 17:9 NLT • Proverbs 17:9 ESV • Proverbs 17:9 NASB • Proverbs 17:9 KJV • Proverbs 17:9 Commentaries • Proverbs 17:9 Bible Apps • Proverbs 17:9 Biblia Paralela • Proverbs 17:9 Chinese Bible • Proverbs 17:9 French Bible • Proverbs 17:9 German Bible
