Proverbs 10:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 One who winks at a fault causes trouble,
but one who frankly reproves promotes peace.
11 The mouth of the just is a fountain of life,
but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.
12 Hatred stirs up disputes,
(A) but love covers all offenses.[a]
