9 Whoever (A)covers an offence seeks love,
but he who repeats a matter (B)separates close friends.

and (C)a cruel messenger will be sent against him.

Proverbs 17:9-11
New International Version
9 Whoever would foster love covers over an offense,(A)
but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.(B)
10 A rebuke impresses a discerning person
more than a hundred lashes a fool.
11 Evildoers foster rebellion against God;
the messenger of death will be sent against them.
