Proverbs 10:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Hatred stirreth up strifes upon every slight occasion, by filling men with suspicions and surmises, whereby they imagine faults where there are none, and aggravate every small offence. Love covereth all sins; either doth not severely observe, or doth willingly forget and forgive, the offences or injuries of others, and so preventeth contention and mischief.

Proverbs 10:12

12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
